Adafruit Feather 32u4 RFM96 LoRa Radio
Adafruit Feather 32u4 RFM96 LoRa Radio is a microcontroller with a Long Range (LoRa) packet radio transceiver and built-in USB and battery charging. The microcontroller packet radio transceiver integrates Adafruit Feather 32u4 in a 433MHz radio module. The 32u4 RFM96 LoRa Radio supports wireless networks that extend past 2.4GHz 802.15.4. The device is also more flexible than BLUETOOTH® LE and without the high-power requirements of WiFi.The design is based on the ATmega32u4 processor, clocked at 8MHz and at 3.3V logic. The chip offers 32K of flash and 2K of RAM. The built-in USB provides a USB-to-Serial program and debug capability. To support portable projects, the development board includes a connector for Adafruit 3.7V lithium polymer batteries and built-in battery charging.
