New ultra-low power Arduino board with built-in RF (RFM69)

Hi Everyone,

 

for some time now I've been designing and testing a new Dev board, which I've created to fulfill some requirements I normally have for our projects. I basically need good Wireless communication and, at the same time, be able to run my Arduino for some long periods on standard battery.

 

For that reason we've created the "Whisper Node", which I'm glad to announce it was successfully founded via Kickstarter and it's now a real product available to everyone. Additional details can be found on the following link: https://wisen.com.au/store/products/whisper-node-avr/

Please check it out, share with your friends and support this project if you believe it's interesting.

 

Update May/2017: After the success of the Whisper Node RFM69 version (Semtech SX1231), we're now producing the LoRa version, featuring an even more smart power management and using the RFM95 (Semtech SX1276) radio.

 

Thank you all!

    Hello Mike. Thanks for posting that, I was actually looking for something similar as I'm after some board to run my IoT projects on batteries. Your video mentioned something like "The first Arduino to…

    Hi mmoebius, I understand your frustration, and that's why I've started this little project to share our expertise and make it available to general public. I'll try to answer your questions - sorry for…

    During the Forget Me Not challenge, I ran across these.

    All about Moteino | LowPowerLab

     

    I used one for my Hot Water, but in my case it was powered, so low consumption wasn't the criteria.

    eLDERmon  External Sensor

     

     

    This design differs by including an onboard step up regulator and the price is slightly improved.

     

     

    Good luck.

    Good stuff!

     

    It's always nice to see people being creative how to "measure" real-life events. Is this project still alive? How did you find out the RFM69 communication at all?

     

    Cheers!

    Mike M.

    Design Challenge finished ... (link should take you to it)

     

    One of the other competitors was sharing his experience with these units.

    I did find a distributor in the USA that was priced right and willing to ship to NZ.

    The units via Low Power lab were also very reasonably priced (for low volume sales)
