The LILYGO LoRa ESP32 Development Board is a highly functional IoT development board designed for long-range IoT applications requiring low power consumption.
Its exceptional reputation is due to its long-range capabilities, clear OLED display, and highly responsive IO port touch screen. While it lacks a power-off switch and its batteries may require frequent charging, it is still highly functional and reasonably priced compared to other development boards in the market. We highly recommend this product to anyone looking to develop long-range IoT applications with low power consumption requirements.
In this review we'll be examining the LILYGO LoRa ESP32 Development Board, a highly functional IoT development board that comes equipped with a 0.96-inch OLED display, Bluetooth, and WIFI connectivity.
This board is designed for developers who are looking to create long-range IoT applications that require low power consumption.
The LILYGO LoRa ESP32 Development Board is an exceptional product that lives up to its reputation. The board's 868 MHz antenna needs to be connected to the IPEX interface for optimal performance. With its lithium battery charge and discharge circuit the board can last for several hours on a single charge. The blue LED indicates when the battery is fully charged. Moreover, the IO port touch screen touch signal input is highly responsive and accurate. You need to add a 100nF pull-down capacitor to this pin to ensure optimal performance.
What really sets this product apart is its long-range capabilities. Customers have reported successful transmissions from inside buildings to indoor gateways that are over 300 meters away. Additionally, the OLED display is clear and easy to read, making it perfect for remote monitoring applications.
On the positive side the LILYGO LoRa ESP32 Development Board is highly functional and compact, making it ideal for IoT applications that require low power consumption and long-range capabilities. The board is also reasonably priced compared to other development boards in the market.
However, the board lacks a power-off switch, which can be inconvenient for users who want to conserve battery life when not in use. Additionally while the batteries last for several hours, they are relatively small and may require frequent charging.
All things considered the LILYGO LoRa ESP32 Development Board is an excellent product that offers exceptional functionality and value for money. Its long-range capabilities and low power consumption make it ideal for IoT applications that require remote monitoring or data transmission over long distances. Overall, we would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to develop long-range IoT applications with low power consumption requirements.
