Description

This is an early version of the Artemis Global Tracker Radio Board. It works, but it has limitations...:

  • We routed the RFM97CW Reset and DIO pins through the TCA9534 I2C GPIO expander, to save on pin count
  • We forgot to include a MOSFET power switch for the microSD card
    • This makes it tricky to minimise the current draw

If you're happy with those limitations, grab yourself a bargain!

Ding and Dent! We won't be making any more of this version of the radio board. When they're gone, they're gone!
