Overview
The Adafruit Feather 32u4 RFM95 LoRa (868/915 MHz) brings long-range LoRa radio connectivity to the compact Feather platform. The board pairs the ATmega32u4 at 8 MHz with HopeRF's RFM95W module built on the Semtech SX1276 LoRa chipset, targeting the 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (Americas) ISM bands.
LoRa's chirp spread spectrum modulation enables remarkable link budgets — the board achieves over 2 km of range with simple quarter-wave wire antennas, and distances beyond 20 km are possible with directional antennas and optimal spreading factor settings. Transmit power is adjustable from +5 to +20 dBm, allowing trade-offs between range and current consumption.
The board supports the full Feather ecosystem: 20 GPIO, 10 analog inputs, 7 PWM channels, hardware SPI/I2C/UART, native USB, and a 100mA LiPo battery charger. A u.FL connector allows swapping the wire antenna for external directional or gain antennas. Adafruit's RadioHead library and the LMIC LoRaWAN stack both work with this board, enabling both raw LoRa packet communication and LoRaWAN network connectivity.
This board is ideal for remote sensor nodes, environmental monitors, asset trackers, and any application requiring long-range wireless data with minimal power consumption.
