ProMini LoRaWAN Node

A LoRaWAN node based on the Arduino ProMini and the RFM95 LoRa module. Based on the original design by Doug Larue, but with some additional options:

  • u.FL antenna connector
  • Grove connector for I2C (can also be used for analog or digital signals)
  • Circuitry to measure battery voltage

3D rendered PCB

Parts

  • Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V, 8 Mhz
  • RFM95 module (frequency band based on your location)
  • Pin headers
  • Edge-mounted SMA connector (e.g. this part) or wire-antenna of correct length

Questions

How big is the ProMini Node v1.0-50x50 PCB?

It measures 45 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ProMini Node v1.0-50x50 use?

20 parts, built around the BSS84. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the ProMini Node v1.0-50x50 KiCad files?

From the makervan/promini-node repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ProMini-Node-v1.0-50x50.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ProMini Node v1.0-50x50 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask makervan before reusing the design.
