WaveShare SX1262 LoRa HAT 915MHz 81ch 40-pin

SKU CH-RNK2-XSF61

A 915 MHz LoRa HAT with 81 channels, 40-pin GPIO header, CP2102 USB-to-UART converter and UART host interface for Raspberry Pi, Arduino or STM32 boards

  • Standard 40-pin GPIO header fits Raspberry Pi boards directly
  • Onboard CP2102 USB-to-UART converter simplifies serial debugging
  • LoRa spread-spectrum with 81 channels at 915MHz enables long-range links
  • Auto multi-level repeating extends coverage for ultra-long-range communication
  • Deep-sleep and Wake-on-Radio modes minimise power for battery operation

LoRa HAT for Raspberry Pi and microcontrollers

The WaveShare SX1262 LoRa HAT adds 915 MHz long-range wireless communication to Raspberry Pi boards through the standard 40-pin GPIO header. An onboard CP2102 USB-to-UART converter provides a serial debug path, while a separate UART interface allows direct connection to Arduino or STM32 host boards. The module supports up to 81 selectable channels using spread-spectrum modulation for interference-resistant links.

Low-power operation and link monitoring

Four status LEDs give immediate visual feedback on module state, and the radio implements deep-sleep and wake-on-radio modes to suit battery-powered deployments. Listen-before-talk checks channel noise before each transmission, raising success rates in congested environments, while RSSI reporting lets developers evaluate signal quality and tune the network remotely through wireless configuration packets.

Multi-hop range extension and security

Automatic multi-level repeating enables ultra-long-range communication by relaying packets across nodes, allowing multiple independent networks to coexist in the same region. A customizable communication key protects data privacy, and the radio supports fixed-point transmission, broadcast mode and channel monitoring for flexible protocol design.

Questions about this item

How do I fit the SX1262 LoRa HAT onto a Raspberry Pi, and which pins must align?

Align the 40-pin GPIO header on the HAT with the Pi's 40-pin header and press down evenly; the CP2102 USB-to-UART converter and UART pins will then connect automatically for serial debugging.

What parts of the SX1262 LoRa HAT will need attention or replacement over time?

The four status LEDs and the CP2102 USB-to-UART chip are the only active components that can degrade; the LoRa radio itself has no moving parts and is rated for continuous operation.

What practical limit appears first when the SX1262 LoRa HAT runs continuously at 915 MHz?

The 81 available channels and listen-before-talk duty-cycle rules cap sustained throughput; once all channels are occupied or the regulatory duty cycle is reached, further packets are delayed.
