Description

Dragion LoRaST IoT module featuring LoRa® technology is a small wireless transceiver module that offers a very compelling mix of long-range, low power consumption and secure data transmission. It is designed to facilitate developers to quickly deploy industrial level LoRa and IoT solutions. It helps users to turn the idea into a practical application and make the Internet of Things a reality. It is easy to program, create and connect your things everywhere. 

LoRaST's wireless part is based on SX1276/SX1278 which allows the user to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption. It targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as irrigation systems, smart metering, smart cities, smartphone detection, building automation, and so on.

LoRaST's MCU part use STM32l0x chip from ST, STML0x is the ultra-low-power STM32L072xx microcontrollers incorporate the connectivity power of the universal serial bus (USB 2.0 crystal-less) with the high-performance ARM® Cortex®-M0+ 32-bit RISC core operating at a 32 MHz frequency, a memory protection unit (MPU), high-speed embedded memories (192 Kbytes of Flash program memory, 6 Kbytes of data EEPa0 Kbytes of RAM) plus an extensive range of enhanced I/Os and peripherals via industrial standard M.2 (NGFF) pin interface.

Dragion LoRaST featuring LoRa® technology is an open-source product, it is based on the STM32Cube HAL drivers, with customer application examples, user can program the IoT module via USART1, USART2 or STLINK. The factory firmware supports LoRaWAN 1.0.2 specification and the user can use AT Command to set up it and use for their project directly.
