Overview

The Heltec CubeCell AM02 Module Plus (HTCC-AM02) is an ultra-compact LoRa/LoRaWAN module built around the ASR6502 system-on-chip, which integrates an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU from the Cypress PSoC 4000 series with a Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver. Measuring just 20.4 x 20.4 x 3mm with a weight of only 2g, it is designed for direct SMT integration into custom PCBs via its 1.27mm stamp-edge castellated pads.

The module supports LoRaWAN 1.0.2 protocol with a maximum transmit power of +21dBm and receiving sensitivity down to -135dBm, enabling communication ranges of up to 10+ miles in rural line-of-sight conditions. With a deep sleep current consumption of just 3.5uA, it is purpose-built for battery-powered field deployments where devices must operate for months or years on a single charge.

The AM02 offers 16 general-purpose GPIO pins, 3 channels of 12-bit ADC, two UART interfaces, SPI, I2C, PWM outputs, and an 8-channel DMA engine. It is fully Arduino-compatible through Heltec's CubeCell-Arduino framework and supports AT transparent transmission commands for integration without custom firmware development. The IPEX antenna connector allows use of external LoRa antennas for optimal range in deployed installations.
