Resources and Going Further
Now that you know all about LoRaWAN, how will you use it? There are a few hookup guides that can help you get started with the SparkX Pro RF - LoRa®-enabled 915MHz board. While support is limited for SparkX products, these should get you moving in the right direction.
- Pro Micro Hookup Guide
- RFM69 Hookup Guide - This is the hookup guide for the RFM69 breakout board. The RFM95W module used on the SparkX Pro RF - LoRa® enabled board is in essence a drop in for the RFM69 module with 2 additional GPIO pins to enable LoRa®. Also be aware that the two use different libraries.
