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

musskopf

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…

    In your Kickstarter pitch you don't mention any RF testing, approvals or plans to get such approvals. Is this an oversight or are you just hoping for the best.  It is very unusual for an RF design to meet FCC or EU regulations without at least one test and tweak cycle.

    The RFM69 have some testing, and state that they meet FCC regulations.

     

    Not sure if it's true but there are documents here.

    I thought that one of the many reasons to use an approved module was to simplify the passage of the complete device through the compliance procedure.

    I'm not sure if it can in effect inherit the pass of the module in relevant aspects  or merely you can have a warm feeling that you are more likely to pass with such a module.

     

    A company who's name escapes me has started selling a much more expensive competitor to the HopeRF devices whilst complaining that the current modules have such wide specs they couldn't pass EMC...All very interesting !
