I am working on a project that requires some long range comms. I was wondering if the Adafruit Lora modules are direct compatible with Particle.io modules. I notice that Particle sells feartherwing boards on their website so i wondered if they might be directly compatible.
Hi Arnold,
You could probably use the Adafruit Lora Modules with a Particle Electron or Photon to gain access to Particle.io. There are quite a few people doing that online from the looks of things, but I couldn’t find you a definitive guide.
My personal favorite LoRa platform at the moment is the Pycom Lopy4. If you haven’t checked it out yet I suggest you consider that as an option!
@Stephen Thanks for the heads up! In hindsight and with further research i can see that the particle MPUs aren’t exactly the first choice for pairing with LoRa modules. I have adjusted my sights towards these little units: https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-feather-32u4-rfm96w-lora-radio-433mhz.html
They are compatible with the Arduino IDE
Hi Arnold,
Those are great if you are going point to point, but if you want to connect to LoRaWAN you will need to go for either 915Mhz or 923Mhz.
