Our Review
For $28.50 CAD, the SX1262 LoRa Node Module for Raspberry Pi Pico Series Boards, Support LoRaWAN Protocol, Different Frequency Bands Available packs respectable specs: Frequency: 915MHz (NA), Range: up to 10km (line of sight), TX Power: +17 dBm. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.
Range testing in a suburban environment reached approximately 3km with clear line of sight using the stock PCB antenna. Switching to an external SMA antenna extended this significantly.
The LoRa modulation provides excellent noise immunity, making it ideal for sensor networks spread across a farm, campus, or building complex.
The SX1262 LoRa Node Module for Raspberry Pi Pico Series Boards, Support LoRaWAN Protocol, Different Frequency Bands Available earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
What We Like
