Story

E32-TTL-100 is a wireless transceiver module based on SX1278 from SEMTECH(can be transmitter and receiver both). It adopts LoRa spread spectrum technology, with this technology the transmitting distance and penetration ability of the module improved more than 1 times compared with traditional FSK.

You can find module here AliExpress (3Km) - AliExpress (8Km)

Arduino UNO shield

I create a Library an Arduino shield very usefully to use.

With this board you can use this device directly without problem or voltage divider.

The configuration is this:

LoRa_E32 e32ttl(4, 5, 3, 7, 6);

Than you can use all examples inside the library, you can use pin 6 and 7 to do a full connection or disable they and put M0 and M1 as you want with dipswitch.

Here the first test, seems all ok.

LoRa E32 request configuration logic analyzer Arduino

Now we are going to do a massive production.

Ready to go

The shield have some jumper and dip switch to configure M0 and M1.If you want set M0 and M1 to a fixed value you must put jumper to F, if you want control via pin to P.If you set to F you must put dip switch on property value Low or High.

Shopping List

You can get my PCB shield here from PcbWay.

Here my Crtistmas present

I chose this manufacturer because at the same cost it offers excellent quality, in the first screen it is possible to make countless options suitable for every need.

The board as you can see on various photo is very beautiful and simply to solder.

Here the soldering video.

Here the result
