LowPowerLab Moteino R6 Standard
Description
Note: due to component shortages and very long lead times, the Moteino might come with the atmega328PB, but with the standard Dualoptiboot bootloader. To all intents and purposes, it will behave the same as the atmega328P and the user should see no difference in behavior, low power, etc.
Moteino is a low power Arduino based on the Atmel ATMega328P/PB microcontroller. To make a wireless link you will need at least 2 Moteinos. Alternatively this is compatible with other Arduinos that use any RFM69 transceiver.
Features:
- Low-cost Arduino fully compatible with the Arduino IDE
- Includes separate 1/4 wavelength monopole wire antenna
- Ultra-low power, very battery friendly
- 3.3V onboard regulator (MCP1703 - 2µA quiescent) provides up to 250mA, input up to 16V (3.6-12V recommended), 2uA quiescent current allows this regulator to run your Moteino on battery for years (using sleep mode)
- Very small size (3.302 x 2.286 cm)
- Breadboard friendly header layout allows you to attach female/male header pins on the top or bottom and make shields for it or just use it on the breadboard for prototyping
- FTDI programming header, we offer this FTDI Adapter board for programming of all non-USB Moteinos
- DualOptiboot bootloader for fast programming and no delay startup. Choose Arduino Uno/Moteino under Tools > Boards from Arduino IDE
- Onboard yellow LED on digital pin 9 (D9 / PB1)
- Now accepts the following transceivers: RFM69HCW / RFM69CW, RFM12B (FSK), RFM92-RFM98 (LoRa)
Applications:
The Moteino R6 can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, etc.)
- Smart agriculture (soil moisture sensors, weather stations)
- Home automation (remote control of devices)
- Industrial monitoring (equipment health, remote sensing)
