Product Description
Moteino is a versatile low power Arduino based on the Atmel ATMega328P microcontroller. To make a wireless link you will need at least 2 Moteinos. Alternatively this is compatible with other Arduinos that use any RFM69 transceiver.
Here are a few features and highlights of Moteino:
- Low cost Arduino fully compatible with the Arduino IDE
- Includes separate 1/4 wavelength monopole wire antenna
- Ultra low power, very battery friendly
- 3.3V onboard regulator (MCP1703 – 2uA quiescent) provides up to 250mA, input up to 16V (3.6-12V recommended), 2uA quiescent current allows this regulator to run your Moteino on battery for years (using sleep mode)
- Very small size (1.3 x 0.9 inch)
- Breadboard friendly header layout allows you to attach female/male header pins on the top or bottom and make shields for it or just use it on the breadboard for prototyping
- DualOptiboot bootloader for fast programming and no delay startup. Choose Arduino Uno/Moteino under Tools>Boards from Arduino IDE.
- Onboard yellow LED on digital pin 9 (D9 / PB1)
- Now accepts the the following transceivers: RFM69HCW / RFM69CW , RFM12B (FSK), RFM92-RFM98 (LoRa):
RFM12B vs RFM69W vs RFM69HW
RFM12B is the widely popular HopeRF transceiver adopted in many Arduino open source projects like the Jeenode, Nanode-RF etc. Which means if you order this transceiver Moteino will be compatible with those products.
RFM69HW is the high power version of RFM69W. You will need to use the setHighPower() function after the initialize() function in my library. See the examples that come with the library.
RFM69W is a 13dBm output power transceiver, 45mA in TX, 16mA in RX.
RFM69HW is a 20dBm output power transceiver, 130mA in TX, 16mA in RX.
!! ATTENTION !! – Out of the box RFM12B can NOT communicate to RFM69W/HW transceivers and vice versa, using Felix’s libraries. Please click here for a mod/solution to make RFM12B talk to RFM69.
We strongly recommend RFM69W/HW for new projects.
