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

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.
