DESCRIPTION

The 433MHz long-range radio TinyShield is based around the very popular Silicon Labs SI4432 radio transceiver - the same transceiver as used by the HopeRF RFM22B module.  The TinyShield is set to operate at 433MHz and can transmit at up to +20dBm and is very easy to use. This transceiver allows for long-range communication between radios and is designed for an open field range of up to 500 meters, which makes this great for long-range sensors of RC control (like drones and vehicles).  

A U.FL antenna connection is included on the board, along with a 433MHz whip antenna.  The TinyShield incorporates level shifters and a local power supply to ensure proper and safe operation over the entire TinyDuino operating voltage range up to 5V.

    TinyDuino Power Requirements

    • Voltage: 3.0V - 5.5V 
    • Current:
      • Receive: 18.5mA
      • Transmit (+13 dBm): 30mA
      • Receive (+20 dBm): 85mA
      • Sleep: 1uA
      • Due to the current, this board cannot be run using the TinyDuino coin cell option

    Pins Used

    SPI Interface used

    • 3 - SPI_IRQ: This signal is the interrupt output from the radio transceiver and into the TinyDuino.
    • 7 - SPI_CS: This signal is the SPI chip select for the radio transceiver.
    • 11 - MOSI: This signal is the serial SPI data out of the TinyDuino and into the radio transceiver.
    • 12 - MISO: This signal is the serial SPI data out of the radio transceiver and into the TinyDuino.
    • 13 - SCLK: This signal is the serial SPI clock out of the TinyDuino and into the radio transceiver.

    Dimensions

    • Board: 20mm x 20mm (.787 inches x .787 inches)
    • Board: Max Height (from lower bottom TinyShield Connector to upper top TinyShield Connector): 5.11mm (0.201 inches)
    • Board Weight: 1.15 gram (.04 ounces)
    • Antenna Length: 177mm  (7.0 inches)
    • Antenna Weight: 0.26 grams (0.009 ounces)
    NOTES
    • For the best range, the antenna should not be close to metal or coiled up.  
    • You can use different antennas with this board, they need to be 433Mhz with a U.FL connector on them.
    • We've tested these at low data rates up to ~500 meters/1640 feet on the ground with the included antenna! However, range will vary greatly depending on local 433MHz noise, obstructions, height above ground, and other factors.

    I bought 2 of these long range 433 transmitters to do some
    development work in IoT
    TinyCircuits are simply smaller than anything else with
    these flexible capabilities.
    I have had good luck in the past with BLE and GPS
    modules.
    So over this cheerful season I will be digging into
    long distance comms.
