Embedded RF & Wireless Modules

kiranmr69 over 1 year ago

Any inputs on the factors you consider while selecting a embedded RF or Wireless Modules like LoRA, Bluetooth, Radio, Zigbee, Cellular etc.?

balajivan1995 over 1 year ago

I mostly work with Wi-Fi and BLE. For me the following factors are necessary when it comes to selecting a wireless module in a project.

1) Integrated with a microcontroller

2) easy to program

3) provides SPI or UART interface

4) Lots of out of box examples

Considering ESP32 family has Wi-Fi, BLE and Zigbee it is my go-to device for a while.

I check to see if my development environment supports the particular module. It is very useful not to have to write drivers for RF modules, and if there is example code, even better.

Are you asking what applications each of these technologies is good for?

Price/availability, power consumption (TX and sleep), certifications, output power, antenna (or connector) ...

Usually the technology chosen depends on the application - things like power budget, data payload, throughput speed/latency, reliability, cost.
