Microduino SmartRF

The Microduino SmartRF is a compact wireless communication shield built for the Microduino stacking ecosystem. Powered by the high-performance TI CC1101 transceiver chip, it adds dependable short-range radio communication to any Microduino Core based project.

The shield follows the standard 27-pin Upin27 interface, so it stacks neatly on top of a Microduino Core and communicates over the SPI bus. Like all Microduino products, it is fully supported by the open source Arduino development environment, which makes coding your radio link quick and painless.

• High-performance CC1101 transceiver for short-range RF communication
• Works on the 315, 433, 868 and 915 MHz license-free bands
• Data rates from 1.2 kbps up to 500 kbps with 2-FSK, GFSK and MSK modulation
• 125 selectable channels for multi-point and frequency-hopping networks
• Built-in hardware CRC error detection and RSSI signal-strength monitoring
• Programmable output power up to +10 dBm and low 1.9 to 3.6 V operating voltage
• Wake-on-radio support for energy-efficient battery powered designs
