M5Stack LoRa+GPS Cap LoRa-1262 for Cardputer Adv with SX1262 868-923MHz

The M5Stack LoRa+GPS Cap LoRa-1262 is a powerful communication expansion module that combines LoRa radio technology with GNSS satellite navigation, specifically developed for the Cardputer-Adv. The module features a HY2.0-4P expansion port for stable connection and functional expansion with the host controller. The LoRa module is based on the SX1262 chip and is standardly equipped with an external SMA antenna, which is additionally protected from interference by a shielding case. It supports the frequency range of 868 to 923 MHz and enables long-range, energy-efficient wireless connections for IoT applications. The GPS module uses the AT6668 chip with integrated ceramic antenna for precise satellite positioning. It supports multi-band and multi-constellation GNSS signal reception from GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS. Even in weak signal environments, the module can quickly capture high-precision location information. This combination makes the module ideal for remote monitoring, smart city applications, and vehicle navigation.
