# SX126x LoRa Radio
2+
3+
The Semtech SX126x family of sub-Ghz radio transceivers come in a number of different formats.
4+
5+
SX126x radios have a wide continuous frequency coverage from 150 MHz to 960 MHz.
6+
7+
SX1261 can transmit up to +15 dBm and the SX1262 can transmit up to +22 dBm
8+
9+
Some development boards are specific to a particular frequency range, so for example you need a different variation of that board for EU868 vs. for AU915.

## LAMBDA62 RF module
12+
13+
Cost effective radio module featuring the Semtech SX1262.

## STM32 STM32WLE5JC
16+
17+
ST Micro STM32WLE5/E4xx is 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 processor with Semtech SX126x processor on a single die.

20+
21+
Several boards have been made using this processor.

26+
27+
Wio-E5 mini is a compacted-sized dev board suitable for the rapid testing and building of small-size LoRa device and application prototyping. Wio-E5 mini is embedded with and leads out full GPIOs of Wio-E5 STM32WLE5JC

# SX127x LoRa Radio
2+
3+
This processor comes in several different packages.
4+
5+
## Adafruit LoRa Radio Featherwing
6+
7+
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3231
8+
9+
This is the LoRa 9x @ 900 MHz radio version, which can be used for either 868MHz or 915MHz transmission/reception - the exact radio frequency is determined when you load the software since it can be tuned around dynamically. They can easily go 2 Km line of sight using simple wire antennas, or up to 20Km with directional antennas and settings tweaks.
10+
11+
### Connecting
12+
13+
To use the LoRa Featherwing with a Pybadge/Gobadge, you need to connect some pads on the board itself. Solder some jumper wires as follows:
14+
15+
RST -> A
16+
CS -> B
17+
DIO1 -> C
18+
IRQ -> D
19+
20+
You also need to connect an antenna. The easiest is to cut a small piece of wire to the correct length based on the desired frequency:
21+
22+
EU868 Mhz - 34.54 cm
23+
24+
You can also use a fancier solution such as a uFL SMA connector with matching antenna.
