SenseCAP LoRaWAN Starter Kit — EU868
A beginner-friendly LoRaWAN kit containing an EU868 gateway, development hardware and sensor modules. Learn how sensors collect data, send it through a LoRaWAN gateway and display it using the supported cloud and application tools.
Product Overview
Description
The SenseCAP LoRaWAN Starter Kit brings together an M2 multi-platform gateway, an ESP32S3 development board, its expansion board and modular sensors in one box designed for beginners. With this kit, you can learn and experience the complete LoRaWAN architecture.
Use the included sensors or select additional compatible sensor modules to build your own LoRaWAN projects. Sensor readings are sent through the included E5 wireless module to the M2 gateway, which forwards the data to the configured cloud service. This kit contains the EU868 gateway version.
Features
- Build an introductory LoRaWAN project through a four-step setup; the source demonstration uses approximately 10 minutes.
- Includes an M2 multi-platform EU868 gateway and a sensor development assembly.
- ESP32S3 development board with an expansion board and modular sensor connections.
- E5 wireless module with built-in AT-command firmware simplifies LoRaWAN development.
- Replaceable UF2 firmware allows advanced users to extend sensor support.
- Default firmware supports the included temperature/humidity and soil-moisture sensors.
- Plug-and-play introductory workflow without requiring a programming background.
Hardware Overview
The temperature/humidity and soil-moisture sensors connect to the ESP32S3 development hardware. The E5 wireless module sends sensor readings to the M2 gateway, which forwards them through the configured network to the cloud.
The kit includes a standard multi-platform LoRaWAN gateway. It does not provide hotspot mining service or use the hotspot-specific application and dashboard. The included gateway can also serve compatible industrial sensors in a standard LoRaWAN network.
Start by connecting and powering the gateway, setting up the included sensor assembly, configuring the network connection and viewing the resulting data. Advanced users can replace the UF2 firmware to support additional sensors.
Applications
- Learning and practicing LoRaWAN architecture.
- Monitoring soil moisture for plant cultivation.
- Monitoring ambient temperature and humidity.
- Prototyping and extending industrial sensing applications.
Additional sensing applications require appropriate additional sensors. The kit does not include a dedicated gas or CO₂ sensor.
