Description
LoRa integrated LoRa Module Ra-02, designed and produced by Ai-Thinker. On the board has some extra space left over, so we give you a prototyping area, it's great for adding on your customized circult working with the LoRa Module.
LoRa enables long-range transmissions (more than 10 km in rural areas) with low power consumption，The technology is presented in two parts: LoRa, the physical layer and LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network), the upper layers.
LoRa and LoRaWAN permit long-range connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) devices in different types of industries.

Example
Arduino IDE
These are the point-to-point communication examples between two LORA modules. The LoRa nodes send and receive messages.
Blue string indicates send succeed.
Yellow string display the received messages.
Red string indicates initialization failed.
