# ESP32 LoLin32 Lite Lora Shield for RFM95 or RN2483
This shield is used to hold LoRa modules such as HopeRF [RFM95][4] or Mictrochip [RN2483][7] with WeMos ESP32 [LoLin32-Lite][22] boards it has the followong features:
- I2C Pullups placement
- Classic I2C connector with SCL/SDA and 3V3/GND reversable pin by solder pad
- Groove I2C connector
- Footprint for RFM95/96/98 or RN2483/RN2903 Lora module
- Footprint for choosing single Wire, SMA or u-FL Antenna type
- 1 x WS2812B Type LED for visual indication
- 1 x Push Button
- Added footprint for Microchip 24AA02E64 64 bits serial number (DEVEUI)
Take care that WeMos has different Lolin32 boards, you need the [Lite][22] model. They Provide WeMos [Lolin32][20], [Lolin32 Pro][21] or this one [Lolin32 Lite][22]
You can also check the shield for the [Lolin32 (not Lite)][9] classic version.
# Detailed Description
Look at the schematics for more informations.
SPI connexion is classic (MOSI/MISO/CLK),
Other pins that may need be adapted into code (for example if you use TTN network gateway code) according to the following pinout
```
Lolin32-Lite RFM9x Module
IO5 <-------> SEL
IO19 <-------> MISO
IO23 <-------> MOSI
IO18 <-------> CLK
IO27 <-------> DIO0
IO26 <-------> DIO1
IO4 <-------> DIO2
IO25 <-------> RST
IO35 <-------> DIO5
Lolin32-Lite RN2xx3 Module
IO4 <-------> RESET
IO25 <-------> RX
IO35 <-------> TX
Lolin32-Lite Shield Feature
IO12 <-------> I2C SCL
IO14 <-------> I2C SDA
IO13 <-------> WS2812 LEDS
IO15 <-------> Push Button
Lolin32-Lite Free I/O
IO0 -> Also used for Flash
IO2
IO16
IO17
IO22 -> On Board LoLin32-Lite LED
IO32
IO33
IO34
```
**Do not forget to join (solder) the correct LoRa antenna trace** depending on module you place (RFM95 or RN2483), see picture below.
And as classic advice, **connect the LoRa antenna before powering** the board to avoid any damage to LoRa module
# Schematic
# Firmware
There is no firmware available, but you can have a large demo of features and a full working LoRa node (with RFM95) with this excellent [ESP32-Paxcounter](https://github.com/cyberman54/ESP32-Paxcounter/) software, it's a must see.
# Boards
You can order the PCB of this board at [PCBs.io][8]. 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 them for free, so if you don't care about PCB manufacturer please use PCBs.io.
# Assembled boards (TBD)
Not assembled yet but you can see approx what it looks like with the [Lolin32 (not Lite)][9] version.
