The Challenger RP2040 LoRa is an Arduino/CircuitPython compatible Adafruit Feather format microcontroller board based on the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) chip.The transceiver features a LoRa long range modem that provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.LoRaThe integrated module LoRa module (RFM95W) can achieve a sensitivity of over -148 dBm utilizing a low cost crystal and bill of materials. The high sensitivity combined with the integrated +20 dBm power amplifier yields industry leading link budget making it optimal for any application requiring range or robustness. LoRa also provides significant advantages in both blocking and selectivity over conventional modulation techniques, solving the traditional design compromise between range, interference immunity and energy consumption.The RFM95W is connected to the RP2040 via SPI channel 1 and a few GPIO’s that is required for signaling. A U.FL connector is used to attach your LoRa antenna to the board. 168 dB maximum link budget +20 dBm – 100 mW constant RF output vs. V supply +14 dBm high efficiency PA Programmable bit rate up to 300 kbps High sensitivity: down to -148 dBm Bullet-proof front end: IIP3 = -12.5 dBm Excellent blocking immunity Low RX current of 10.3 mA, 200 nA register retention Fully integrated synthesizer with a resolution of 61 Hz FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK, LoRaTM and OOK modulation Built-in bit synchronizer for clock recovery Preamble detection 127 dB Dynamic Range RSSI Automatic RF Sense and CAD with ultra-fast AFC Packet engine up to 256 bytes with CRC Specifications Microcontroller RP2040 from Raspberry Pi (133 MHz dual-core Cortex-M0) SPI Two SPI channels configured (second SPI connected to RFM95W) I²C One I²C channel configured UART One UART channel configured Analog inputs 4 analog input channels Radio module RFM95W from Hope RF Flash memory 8 MB, 133 MHz SRAM memory 264 KB (divided into 6 banks) USB 2.0 controller Up to 12 MBit/s full speed (integrated USB 1.1 PHY) JST Battery connector 2.0 mm pitch On board LiPo charger 450 mA standard charge current Dimensions 51 x 23 x 3,2 mm Weight 9 g Downloads Datasheet Design files

The Challenger RP2040 WiFi is a small embedded computer equipped with a WiFi module, in the popular Adafruit Feather form factor. It is based on an RP2040 microcontroller chip from the Raspberry Pi Foundation which is a dual-core Cortex-M0 that can run on a clock up to 133 MHz. The RP2040 is paired with a 8 MB high-speed flash capable of supplying data up to the max speed. The flash memory can be used both to store instructions for the microcontroller as well as data in a file system and having a file system available makes it easy to store data in a structured and easy to program approach. The device can be powered from a Lithium Polymer battery connected through a standard 2.0 mm connector on the side of the board. An internal battery charging circuit allows you to charge your battery safely and quickly. The device is shipped with a programming resistor that sets the charging current to 250 mA. This resistor can be exchanged by the user to either increase or decrease the charging current, depending on the battery that is being used. The WiFi section on this board is based on the Espressif ESP8285 chip which basically is a ESP8266 with 1 MB flash memory integrated onto the chip making it a complete WiFi only requiring very few external components. The ESP8285 is connected to the microcontroller using a UART channel and the operation is controlled using a set of standardized AT-commands.

The Challenger RP2040 SD/RTC is an Arduino/CircuitPython compatible Adafruit Feather format microcontroller board based on the Raspberry Pi Pico chip. This board is equipped with an microSD card reader and a Real Time Clock making it super useful for data logging applications. MicroSD Card This board is equipped with a microSD card connector that will house standard microSD cards allowing your application to have many gigabytes of storage room for sensor data or what ever you want to place on it. Together with a fancy display you could also store cool images. Real Time Clock (RTC) MCP79410 is a highly integrated real time clock with nonvolatile memory and many other advanced features. These features include a battery switchover circuit for backup power, a timestamp to log power failures and digital trimming for accuracy. Using a low-cost 32.768 kHz crystal or other clock source, time is tracked in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format with an AM/PM indicator and timing to the second, minute, hour, day of the week, day, month and year. As an interrupt or wakeup signal, a multifunction open drain output can be programmed as an Alarm Out or as a Clock Out that supports 4 selectable frequencies.
