Two eRIC Arduino Shields which allow wireless communication between Arduino™ boards using proprietary LPRS easyRadio technology. This technology provides considerably greater range and lower power consumption than similar Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices operating in the overcrowded 2.4GHz bands. An on-board 4-pin header allows connection of an external FT232 USB adapter device to configure the easyRadio module if required. Two versions of the eRIC Arduino Shield are available: 136-7693 · eRIC4-DUINO for operation at 434MHz 136-7694 · eRIC9-DUINO for operation at 868/915MHz
• Host Arduino™ boards can send and receive (half duplex) up to 180 Bytes of data per packet • Seamless delivery and presentation to all other hosts within range • Typical operating range up to 200m • Transmit, Receive, Busy and Power LED indicators • Integral SMA antenna connector
