It consists of a Wio-E5 CAN bus Dev Board, an antenna(EU868/US915), and a waterproof case. The embedded Wio-E5 STM32WLE5JC Module supports Long Range protocol on the global frequency band. It leads out full GPIOs of Wio-E5 supporting various data protocols and interfaces including RS-485, Grove, male/female headers, etc. It would be a perfect choice for fast testing and rapid prototyping of your Long Range IoT projects. Also, the Wio-E5 STM32WLE5JC Module is the world-first combo of Lang Range RF and MCU chip into one single tiny chip and are FCC and CE certified. It is powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 core and Semtech SX126X Long Range chip, supports Long Range protocol on the worldwide frequency and (G)FSK, BPSK, (G)MSK, and Long Range modulations.

It features an ultra-long transmitting range of up to 10km in an open area, extremely low chip power consumption which the sleep current is as low as 2.1 uA(WOR mode), and user-friendly interfaces which are developed to unlock the full functionality of the Wio-E5 module, CAN FD and CAN 2.0 communication, it has led out full 28 pins of Wio-E5 and provides rich interfaces including Grove connectors, RS-485 terminal, male/female pin headers for you to connect sensors and modules with different connectors and data protocols, saving your time on wire soldering. You could also easily power the board by connecting the battery holder with 2 AA batteries, enabling temporary use when lacking an external power source. It is a user-friendly board for easy testing and rapid prototyping. It is designed with industrial standards with a wide working temperature at -40 ℃ ~ 85℃, high sensitivity between -116.5 dBm ~ -136 dBm, and power output up to +20.8dBm at 3.3V.

Highlighted Features

• Support various communication methods: CAN FD, CAN 2.0, and RS485
• High extendability with various sensors: full GPIOs led out to rich interfaces, including RS-485, Grove modules for GPS, environmental detection, etc
• High compatibility: support Global Long Range frequency plan with a long-distance transmission range of 10km(ideal value in open area)
• Easy to use: User-friendly waterproof case & solar charging interface provided for better outdoor deployment and enable temporary use when lacking an external power source
• Supports industrial standards: a wide working temperature at -40 ℃ ~ 85℃, high sensitivity between -116.5 dBm ~ -136 dBm, and power output up to +20.8dBm at 3.3V

Applications

• Long Range sensor network management: Many sensors in the industry are transmitted through CAN BUS. With the Wio-E5 CAN Dev board, you can use the onboard CAN-BUS function to read the sensors and send the data through Long Range.
• Car hacking: Since the circuit board can receive 5-28V input, the user can connect the circuit board to the OBD interface, and get the data of the car.
