LoPy LoRa, WiFi + BLE MicroPython Dev Board Pycom

DESCRIPTION

RETIRED PRODUCT – We’ve stopped stocking this product or it has been retired by the manufacturer and is no longer for sale. This page remains available for its resources and as a source of potential interest.

The LoPy with LoRa, Wifi and BLE, is the only triple bearer MicroPython enabled micro controller on the market today €“ the perfect enterprise grade IoT platform for your connected Things. With the latest Espressif chipset the LoPy offers a perfect combination of power, friendliness and flexibility. Create and connect your things everywhere, and FAST.

• Powerful CPU, BLE and state of the art WiFi radio. 1KM Wifi Range
• Can also double up as a Nano LoRa gateway
• MicroPython enabled, the Linux of IoT for fast deployment
• Fits in a standard breadboard (with headers)
• Ultra-low power usage: a fraction compared to other connected micro controllers

Note: The LoRa + Sigfox Antenna Kit for LoPy is recommended for use with this product. Using a LoRa or Sigfox radio on LoPy or SiPy without the external antenna can lead to damage of the device
