RF1276        LoRa module                      V3.0

Please note that the working modes changed by the 0x03, 0x04 and 0x05 commands will not be written 

into  nonvolatile  memory  so  the  working  mode  will  be  restored  to  the  former  mode  before  change  after 

power-off. Users can use the WRITE command to change the working mode of module to standard mode 

or low power mode but the sleep mode will be restored to standard mode after next power-on even if the 

WRITE command is used.

Application Schematic: 

 

The connection schematic between RF1276 and MCU or terminal is shown as below.   

The  parameter  of  RF1276’serial  port  must  match  with  MCU  or  terminal’s  (RF1276  has  the  same  serial 

port baud rate and parity style with MCU or terminal). Two or more RF1276s in a system should have the 

same parameters such as TX/RX frequency, air date rate and RF channel.   

 

Caution:

 

1. When RF1276 is installed, make sure the antenna is far away from device to enhance the performance. 

                2. RF1276 should have the same common ground with MCU or terminal. Otherwise it may cause the module 
irregular working. 
                3. When RF1276 works normal, DO NOT touch the module and antenna.
