Microchip (RN-2483-PICTAIL) Daughter Board, PICtail™/PICtail Plus

Product InformationSilicon Manufacturer: MicrochipCore Architecture: PICCore Sub-Architecture: PIC18Silicon Core Number: PIC18LF25K50, RN2483Silicon Family Name: PIC18FFor Use With: Microchip PIC18 Explorer & Explorer 16 Development BoardsKit Contents: Daughter Board RN2483, 2 Antenna, USB CableProduct Range: -Product OverviewThe RN-2483-PICTAIL is a LoRa® technology PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board,development board that showcases the Microchip RN2483 low-power long range,LoRa® technology transceiver module. Development of an LoRa system with theRN2483 connected to Microchip's PIC MCU line is possible on PIC18 Explorerboards via the 28-pin PICtail connector or on Explorer 16 boards using the30-pin card edge PICtail Plus connector. The PICtail board also has an on-boardPIC18 MCU available for custom user functions. It is pre-programmed to provide asimple USB-to-UART serial bridge enabling easy serial connection. Demonstrationof the RN2483 is performed by plugging the daughter board into an USB port of aPC. The USB port powers the daughter board and enables the user to communicateusing the RN2483's simple ASCII command interface.SMA connector for 433MHz and 868MHz bandSolder pads around the module for GPIOs, power pins and communication signalsSupply current measurement pointsOn-board LDOUART traffic LEDsICSP header to program the on-board PIC18 MCUUSB connectorPICtail connection interfacePICtail Plus connection interfacePIC18 MCU for custom functionsApplicationsEmbedded Design & Development
