The SX1262 is an updated LoRa chip, so we made a breakout

We got a hot tip to check out the Semtech SX1262 (https://www.digikey.com/short/504bpwww) – compared to our classic SX127x series of “RadioFruit” boards (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3072) the ‘1262 has lower power usage and longer range as well as some more options for spread-spectrum and extra modulation protocols. Most folks will probably use it for LoRa / LoRaWAN. The pinout is slightly different, so a few changes were made to the classic PCB. We also had some extra room, so we tossed in mounting holes. With this design, you can use wire, uFL, or SMA antennas – just solder whichever connector you desire. Note that the new chips are not software-compatible, so some driver tweaks will be needed to make it work. Coming soon.
