Mini Lora Node, Arduino Mini LoraWAN sensor
===========================================
At the begining this PCB has been created to help wiring between Arduino Mini and RFM95 Lora module and to be able to put the whole thing powered by various Batteries type (AA, 18650, A, ...).
Then I decided to add some funky stuff like:
**new in V1.2**
- Footprint for Ultra Low Power controller TPL5110
- R9 1206 or PTH Footprint to easily change resistor and thus delay between wake
- renamed silk pin to function instead of arduino name
- Optional Tactile Switch to wake from TPL5110
**all version**
- Easy to build and solder, 0805 or PTH components
- I2C connector (or grove) to be able to add internal/external sensors such as BME280, SI7021 or HTU21D
- Footprint for Lora RFM95
- Footprint for a Microchip 24AA02E64T EUID
- RBG Led
- Optional Tactile Switch
- Various Battery Connector and type AA/A/18650/CR123
- Two A4/A5 pins position so you can use different Mini Clone (see BOM)
**On version 1.1, I2C A4/A5 (the ones bottom right) are not connected**, thanks to tkerby who detected this point on [issue #1](https://github.com/hallard/Mini-LoRa/issues/1).
This is now fixed on version 1.1a. Pcbs.io PCB have been updated.
Detailed Description
====================
No specific documentation for now, it's just a kind of wiring helper as follow
```
Arduino Mini RFM9x Module
A0 <----> RST
MISO (D12) <----> MISO
MOSI (D11) <----> MOSI
SCK (D13) <----> CLK
SS (D10) <----> SEL (Chip Select)
D2 <----> DIO0
D7 <----> DIO1
D8 <----> DIO2
Arduino Mini Shield PCB
D3 <----> Push Button (Has Pull Down)
D9 <----> Led Red
D6 <----> Led Green
D5 <----> Led Blue
A1 <----> DONE of TPL5110 (to indicate we done)
A2 <----> DRVN of TPL5110 (pulse out to wake CPU)
SDA (A4) <----> I2C SCL Connector
SCL (A5) <----> I2C SDA Connector
```
R9 determine Wake Time interval from TPL5110 as follow
- 170K 2 hours
- 120K ~1 hour
- 100K ~35 min
- 47K ~6 min
please read TPL5110 [datasheet](http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tpl5110.pdf) for more information or Adafruit TPL5110 Learning [page](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-tpl5110-power-timer-breakout/)
Installation
============
If you're using Battery clip connector, please isolate the A4/A5 and FTDI (V1.0 only) pads from clip because it will do shorts and prevent I2C to work.
I'm Using the [LMIC stack](https://github.com/matthijskooijman/arduino-lmic) as his with custom sketch, this one is under NDA for Ultra Low Power, So I can't provide it but you can use the one in example of LMIC.
You may need to disable debug of LMIC stack if missing.
I'm also changing the Bootloader to use optiboot and win 1.5K of flash code and setup the Brown Out Detect to 1.8V to be able to works under 2.7V. Please see this [Pro-Mini-ICSP-FTDI](https://github.com/hallard/Pro-Mini-ICSP-FTDI) repo if you need to flash your Arduino Pro Mini with this bootloader. You'll see in [bootloader](https://github.com/hallard/Pro-Mini-ICSP-FTDI/tree/master/bootloaders) folder, I've compiled some for various Speed and for 8MHz and 16MHz Crystal (I use the 250KBPS one, it's fast and reliable).
I've also created custom board definition for Arduino IDE so if using my bootloader, you'll have the board clock and serial speed selection in Arduino IDE, it located [here](https://github.com/ch2i/ch2i-arduino-boards)

Boards

**Top & bottom side V1.2**
**Top & bottom side Grove V1.1**
~~You can order PCBs of this board at [PCBs.io][3]~~
- ~~[V1.2](https://www.PCBs.io/share/r1a3J) Classic I2C connector~~
- ~~[V1.1a](https://www.PCBs.io/share/8AGb2) Classic I2C connector~~
- ~~[V1.1a](https://www.PCBs.io/share/zjKdY) Grove I2C connector~~
- ~~[V1.0](https://www.PCBs.io/share/r3LdE)~~
~~PCBs.io give me some reward when you order my designed boards from their site. This is pretty good, because I can use these rewards to create and design new boards and order boards for a discounted price, so if you don't care about PCB manufacturer please use PCBs.io.~~
Looks like PCBs.io is gone, I do not have any rewards from PCBs.io since August 2020 and my free order placed after are still not received, so my guess they are not on business anymore.
So you can order the board on [oshpark](https://oshpark.com).
- [V1.2](https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/xBynTfXX) Classic I2C connector
- [V1.1a](https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/TSE77q5q) Groove I2C connector
It's a pitty after several discuss with OSHPark that I can't have any rewards for each people ordering my boards, this would allow me to order free PCB for shared projects and create new ones. For information my shared boards generated a total of **$285 162.00** orders at PCBs.io in 4 years, not bad at all :-)
Hoping one day OSHparks will thanks me giving them this market.

Bill Of Material
================
Nothing fancy, all components are 0805 and/or PTH and can be ordered almost anywhere (digikey, mouser, radiospare, ...).
use only what you need dependings on what you want to do.
