LoRaMote
USER GUIDE
WIRELESS, SENSING and TIMING PRODUCTS
1 Preamble
The LoRaMote is a demo platform intended to showcase the capability of the SX1272 and especially the
LoRa modulation. The platform is fitted with various sensors which provide a variety of application. We
strongly recommend for the user to read thoroughly the datasheet of the SX1272 and the LoRaMAC
specification prior to start working with on the LoRaMote.
2 Introduction
The SX1272 is a single-chip integrated circuit ideally suited for today's high performance ISM band RF
applications. Added to the renowned, high-performance and low-cost, FSK / OOK RF transceiver modem,
the SX1272 is also equipped with the LoRa proprietary transceiver modem. This advanced feature set,
including a state of the art packet engine, greatly simplifies system design whilst the high level of
integration reduces the external BOM to a handful of passive decoupling and matching components. It is
intended for use as high-performance, long range, half-duplex bi-directional RF links, and where stable
and constant RF performances are required over the full operating range of the device down to 1.8V.
The SX1272 is intended for applications over a wide frequency range, including the 868 MHz European
and the 902-928 MHz North American ISM bands. Coupled with a link budget in excess of 135 dB in FSK
in excess of 155 dB in LoRa, the SX1272 really offers the possibility of two modems in one single
package. The SX1272 complies with both ETSI and FCC regulatory requirements and is available in a
5x5 mm QFN 28 lead free package.
The LoRaMote has been design to demonstrate the capability of the SX1272 and is targeted to any
potential user who would like to get familiar with the LoRa Modulation and the LoRaMAC protocol.
Without going into too many details, this document should guide the reader through the potential use of
the LoRaMote as a standalone transmitter/receiver, or as part of a more complex IOT system. The
LoRaMote being a battery powered device, a strong emphasis on the power consumption is described
within the documents.
