4072 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Adafruit RFM69HCW Transceiver Radio Bonnet (Product ID 4072) adds sub-GHz wireless communication to a Raspberry Pi. It uses the RFM69HCW module and operates in the 868 to 915 MHz frequency range with FSK modulation. The output power is software-selectable from +13 dBm to +20 dBm (up to 100 mW).

 

Typical current consumption is 50 mA when transmitting at +13 dBm and 150 mA at +20 dBm. In active listening mode, the receiver draws 30 mA. The board includes a 128x32 OLED display and three user interface buttons. Communication with the Raspberry Pi is via SPI interface.

 

Typical line-of-sight range is 500 m with a simple wire antenna, and up to 5 km with directional antennas and optimized settings. The bonnet is supported by Adafruit's Python libraries for packetized radio communication.
