SparkFun LoRa expLoRaBLE Thing Plus

SparkFun expLoRaBLE Thing Plus is a Feather-footprint development board with the Northern Mechatronics NM180100 system in package (SiP). The board features the NM180100, the Ambiq Apollo3 microcontroller, and the Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver. The Thing Plus is a highly integrated LoRa® module supporting 868MHz, 915MHz bands, and Bluetooth® Low Energy. The expLoRaBLE Thing Plus uses the Qwiic Connect System which means no soldering or shields are required to connect it to the rest of a system.
