LR 16 Click is a new IoT and IIoT wireless connectivity Click board™ from MIKROE, the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards. Click boards enable developers to rapidly provide proof-of-concept, then prototype and code new embedded projects. The compact LR 16 Click add-on board is based on the WIRL-LORA Daphnis-I module from Würth Elektronik which integrates the STM32WLE5CCU6 chip. It supports both LoRaWAN® and proprietary communication modes delivering low-power, long-range wireless connectivity for IoT and industrial applications.
Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “This Click board is useful for many applications including: smart city street lighting, waste management, and environmental monitoring; smart farming for monitoring soil moisture, weather, and livestock; asset tracking and supply chain monitoring; patient monitoring systems; and machine-to-machine communications and remote monitoring in industrial settings. LR 16 Click is a recent addition to our 1800-strong mikroBUS™-enabled Click board family, and developers can find over 800 projects – with working code – which feature the LR 16 Click on MIKROE’s embedded projects platform EmbeddedWiki.”
LR 16 Click operates in the EU868 frequency band with an output power of 13.4dBm, and is fully compliant with the LoRaWAN® 1.0.4 specification and supporting device classes A, B, and C. Proprietary protocols allow peer-to-peer, star, and mesh networking with broadcast, multicast, and unicast communication options. Additional features include UART communication with AT command support, firmware upgrades and boot control, SWD for debugging, Click Snap which reduces board size and increases design flexibility, and LED indicators for data activity and network status.
The boards also feature the ClickID function which enables automatic identification by the host system, simplifying use. Devices are fully compatible with the mikroBUS™ socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS™ standard. They come with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, offering excellent flexibility for evaluation and customization.
