Our Review

The SX1278 LoRa ESP32 0.96 inch Blue OLED Display Bluetooth WiFi Lora Kit 32 Module Internet Development 433MHz 470MHz for Arduino delivers solid performance for its category. With Frequency: 433MHz, Range: up to 15km (open field), TX Power: +22 dBm, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.

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 SX1278 LoRa ESP32 0.96 inch Blue OLED Display Bluetooth WiFi Lora Kit 32 Module Internet Development 433MHz 470MHz for Arduino 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

  • Well-documented AT command set or driver library
  • Onboard antenna works out of the box
  • Configurable data rate and TX power for range vs. speed tradeoff
  • Simple serial/SPI interface for easy MCU integration

Watch Out For

  • Antenna placement affects range significantly
  • Limited data throughput compared to WiFi
  • Interference in crowded ISM band environments
