Adafruit Feather RP2040 With RFM95 LoRa Radio – 915MHz

The Adafruit Feather RP2040 with RFM95 LoRa Radio – 915MHz – RadioFruit and STEMMA QT (Feather LoRa from here on out) is a microcontroller paired with a LoRa 900MHz band radio for data communication. LoRa, short for long range, is a data radio standard for low-data rate, long-distance communication. Its range will depend on the […]
