DockerPi IoT Node (A)

The Docker Pi IoT Node (A) adds GPS/BDS (Beidou), GSM and LoRa to your Raspberry Pi!

The board communicates to the Raspberry Pi over I2C to control LoRa & GSM connectivity as well as the GPS/BDS module through the SC16IS752 chip.

For LoRa, the board uses an AI-Thinker RA-01 module which supports 410MHz - 525MHz bands.

The unit can also be controlled directly without programming and the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins are extended to allow stacking if required.

The unit comes complete with two antennas for long-range sensor applications and a high-gain built-in ceramic active antenna for GNSS.

Note: Raspberry Pi not included.
