CubeCell 1/2AA 868MHz Lora Node HTCC-AB02A

The CubeCell 1/2AA 868MHz Lora Node HTCC-AB02A from Heltec is a cost-effective LoRaWan Board that is perfect for your own Lora Node applications. The board features a battery holder for a 1/2 AA lithium-chlor-sulfite battery on the back. The CubeCell board has an integrated ASR6502 of the PSoC® 4000 series MCU (ARM® Cortex® M0+ Core) and SX1262. The board is Arduino-compatible and can easily be integrated and programmed into the Arduino IDE using Heltec's detailed instructions. The CubeCell LoRaWan development board features an Ultra Low Power design and only consumes 3.5uA in Deep Sleep mode. Battery condition can be queried via the analog input from the microcontroller. This way, you can build a 100% battery-operated LoRaWan Node yourself.

Before you can get started, you must of course check if you have a TTN (The Things Network) gateway nearby. You can find all TTN Gateways on the following map:
