RFM69HCW Radio Arduino Shield

Description

• RFM69HCW Radio Arduino Shield
• Offers inexpensive and versatile radio module
• Built-in temperature sensor
• Low power consumption
• Compatible with 3.3 or 5 V I/O Arduino Board
• Suitable for LoRa network applications
• Interface: SPI

The RFM69HCW Radio Arduino Shield is an inexpensive and versatile radio module. It is perfect for building inexpensive short-range wireless networks for home & building automation, sensor networks, automated meter readings, wireless alarm & security systems, industrial monitoring & control, and many more applications.

The RFM69HCW transceiver module operates over a wide frequency range, including the 315, 433, 868, and 915 MHz license-free ISM (Industry Scientific and Medical) frequency bands. All major RF communication parameters are programmable and most can be set dynamically. The RFM69HCW is optimized for low power consumption while offering high RF output power and channelized operation.

The shield has on-board power regulation and level shifting, an external antenna via the I-Pex connector, and additional jumpers to set the interface and digital communication pins on the Arduino.
