LoRa HAT for Raspberry Pi 915MHz
This WaveShare SX1262 LoRa HAT adds long-range wireless communication to Raspberry Pi boards through the 40-pin GPIO header. It operates on the 915MHz frequency band for regions including America, Oceania and Asia. The onboard CP2102 USB-to-UART converter enables serial debugging, while a UART control interface allows connection to host boards such as Arduino or STM32. Four LED indicators provide visual status feedback.
Makers needing 5km range and mesh repeat
The board suits developers building industrial control, smart home or data-collection systems that require communication distances up to 5km with auto-repeating for extended reach. It is not for projects that need licensed-band operation, cellular backhaul or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Buyers who require higher data rates than LoRa spread spectrum modulation provides should consider alternative wireless technologies.
81 channels with spread spectrum modulation
The SX1262 module offers 81 available signal channels using LoRa spread spectrum modulation for interference-resistant links. Auto multi-level repeating extends the practical range beyond the single-hop 5km baseline. The design handles low-power, long-range sensor networks and remote telemetry, but runs out of headroom for high-throughput streaming, real-time video or applications demanding sub-millisecond latency.

Questions about this item
Which Raspberry Pi GPIO header does the 40-pin extension on this HAT require?
The board uses the standard 40-pin GPIO header found on every Raspberry Pi series board.
Can I connect an Arduino or STM32 to the UART control interface while the HAT sits on a Pi?
Yes, the onboard UART control interface is brought out specifically for host boards such as Arduino or STM32.
How do I confirm the SX1262 module is transmitting on the 915 MHz band after setup?
The four onboard LED indicators show module status, letting you verify radio activity on the 915 MHz frequency band.
