Overview
La carte Click Board™ LR 4 est une carte complémentaire compacte qui contient un émetteur-récepteur longue portée. Cette carte est équipée de l'émetteur-récepteur SRD 32001353 basé sur la technologie RF, qui fonctionne à une fréquence de 868 MHz de Mipot. Grâce à la fonction de modulation à spectre étalé, ainsi qu'à la faible consommation d'énergie, elle est capable d'atteindre une communication longue portée, à l'abri des interférences. Elle dispose d'une pile longue portée complète à bord ; elle implémente des couches physique, réseau et MAC, permettant une utilisation facile via l'interface UART. L'émetteur-récepteur est également certifié RED 2014/53/EU, ce qui permet une intégration facile dans l'application finale. Cette carte Click Board™ offre une solution simple et fiable pour développer des réseaux IoT longue portée hautement intégrés, des systèmes de sécurité, des réseaux d'alarme et des applications similaires qui nécessitent des solutions de mise en réseau simples et fiables.
Le LR 4 Click Board™ est pris en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The LR 4 Click Board™Work?
The LR 4 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the 32001353, a low-power long-range RF technology-based transceiver module from Mipot. It offers a long-range spread spectrum communication with high interference immunity. The network is implemented as a star topology, where endpoints work in duty cycle mode, significantly reducing the overall power consumption. The LR 4 Click Board™ features an embedded LoRaWAN Class A and Class C compliant stack offering an easy and reliable solution for developing low-power, highly integrated IoT networks, security systems, alarm networks, and similar applications that require simple and reliable networking solutions.
To join a LoRaWAN network, the 32001353 requires a LoRaWAN concentrator/gateway. The endpoint device has to use a unique endpoint address, an application session key, and a network session key. The first method is called over-the-air activation (OTAA), where these keys are issued after a specific join procedure. The second method is to assign these keys manually, using UART commands. This method is called activation by personalization (ABP) and can be prone to some security issues. In any case, before an end-device can communicate on the LoRaWAN network, it must be activated.
The LR 4 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the UART interface with commonly used UART RX and TX pins at data rates up to 115200bps for the data transfer. In addition to these features, the 32001353 also uses several GPIO pins connected to the mikroBUS™ socket. The WK pin routed on the CS pin of the mikroBUS™ represents the Wake-up function used for waking up the device, while the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket can perform Hardware Reset function by putting this pin in a logic low state. This Click board™ also has an indicator routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS ™ socket, which will provide the user with feedback after a successfully received package and verified checksum.
The LR 4 Click Board™ features the SMA antenna connector with an impedance of 50Ω, so it can be equipped with the appropriate 868MHz compliant antenna that MikroE has in its offer.
The LR 4 Click Board™can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. A proper logic voltage level conversion is performed by the TXB0106 voltage level shifter, while the LDO ensures that recommended values power the module. This allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the UART communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
