RN2483 LORA™ TECHNOLOGY PICtail™/PICtail PLUS
DAUGHTER BOARD
The high-speed UART interface and the GPIO ports are available on the module to
configure, control, and transfer data. The RN2483 LoRa Technology PICtail/PICtail
Plus Daughter Board has PICtail and PICtail Plus connectors to interface with a PIC
®
microcontroller (MCU) on the development boards that support PICtail or PICtail Plus
interface with the required pin mapping. The PICtail board also has an on-board PIC18
MCU available for custom user functions. It is preprogrammed 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 a USB
port of a PC. The USB port powers the daughter board and enables the user to
communicate using the RN2483’s ASCII commands.
Development of the RN2483 with Microchip’s PIC MCU line is possible via the 28-pin
PICtail connector to a PIC18 Explorer or 30-pin card edge PICtail Plus connector to an
Explorer 16.
