Microchip (RN-2483-PICTAIL) Daughter Board, PICtail™/PICtail Plus

Product Information Silicon Manufacturer: Microchip Core Architecture: PIC Core Sub-Architecture: PIC18 Silicon Core Number: PIC18LF25K50, RN2483 Silicon Family Name: PIC18F For Use With: Microchip PIC18 Explorer & Explorer 16 Development Boards Kit Contents: Daughter Board RN2483, 2 Antenna, USB Cable Product Range: - Product Overview The RN-2483-PICTAIL is a LoRa® technology PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board, development board that showcases the Microchip RN2483 low-power long range, LoRa® technology transceiver module. Development of an LoRa system with the RN2483 connected to Microchip's PIC MCU line is possible on PIC18 Explorer boards via the 28-pin PICtail connector or on Explorer 16 boards using the 30-pin card edge PICtail Plus connector. The PICtail board also has an on-board PIC18 MCU available for custom user functions. It is pre-programmed to provide a simple USB-to-UART serial bridge enabling easy serial connection. Demonstration of the RN2483 is performed by plugging the daughter board into an USB port of a PC. The USB port powers the daughter board and enables the user to communicate using the RN2483's simple ASCII command interface.
