Dragino Lora Shield
What is the Dragino Lora Shield
‘The Dragino Lora Shield is a long range transceiver on a Arduino shield form factor and based on Open source library: The
Lora Shield allows the user to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low datacrates.It provides ultra-long range spread
spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimising current consumption.The Lora Shield based on SX1276/SX1278 targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as irrigation
systems, smart metering, smart cities, smartphone detection, building automation, and so on,
Using Semtech’s patented LoRa™ modulation technique the Lora Shield can achieve a sensitivity of over -1484Bm using a
ow cost crystal and bill of materials. The high sensitivity combined with the integrated +20 dBm power amplifier yields
industry leading link budget making it optimal for any application requiring range or robustness. LoRa™ also provides
significant advantages in both blocking and selectivity over conventional modulation techniques, solving the traditional
design compromise between range, interference immunity and energy consumption.
These devices also support high performance (G)FSK modes for systems including WMBus, IEEE802.15.4g. The Lora Shield
deliver exceptional phase noise, selectivity, receiver linearity and IIP3 for significantly lower current consumption than
competing devices.

Hardware version info
Hardware Source
in: Lora Shield hardware source (https://github.com/dragino/Lora/tree/master/Lora%20Shield/hardware).
Lora Shield v1.0: The first hardware release for the Lora Shield.
Lora Shield v1.2: Connect the DIOs to Arduino 10. Change i-pex connector to SMA connector
Lora Shield v1.3: Remove Sv to 3.3v LDO, use 3.3 directly from Arduino +3.3v pin
Lora Shield v1.4: Add 3 resistors R9/R1O/R11. Purpose is to provide possibility to change the Arduino pin connect to
Lora CS pin, so Arudino can easier to connect to multi SPI devices. by default, R9 is populated and RIO/RIT is not
populated. So lora CS is connected to Arduino D10.Wireless Specifications of RFM95W
