Description

SparkFun LoRa Thing Plus - expLoRaBLEThe SparkFun expLoRaBLE Thing Plus is a Feather footprint development board with the NM180100 system in package (SiP), from Northern Mechatronics. Thanks to the NM180100, as well as the Ambiq Apollo3 microcontroller and the Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver, this Thing Plus is a highly integrated LoRa module supporting both 868MHz and 915MHz bands and Bluetooth Low Energy. On top of all else, the expLoRaBLE Thing Plus utilizes our handy Qwiic Connect

The SparkFun expLoRaBLE Thing Plus is a Feather-footprint development board with the NM180100 system in package (SiP), from Northern Mechatronics. Thanks to the NM180100, as well as the Ambiq Apollo3 microcontroller and the Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver, this Thing Plus is a highly integrated LoRa® module supporting both 868MHz and 915MHz bands and Bluetooth® Low Energy. On top of all else, the expLoRaBLE Thing Plus utilizes our handy Qwiic Connect System which means no soldering or shields are required to connect it to the rest of your system!

The NM180100 SiP includes a Semtech SX1262 LoRa module paired with the Apollo3 MCU, which is used in the SparkFun Artemis Module. This provides the board with compatibility in the Arduino IDE, through our Apollo3 Arduino core. With both the BLE and LoRa capabilities of the expLoRaBLE you will be able to operate as a Bluetooth enabled LoRa node.

You won't have to worry about how to hook up an appropriate antenna, either. The SparkFun expLoRaBLE Thing Plus has been equipped with a simple U.FL connector. With the U.FL you will have your choice of BLE and RF antennas to chose from but, personally, we recommend our Wide Band 4G LTE Internal FPC Antenna.

Enrichment toy is working
We have had these for a while. Got them for enrichment during the AZ summers when it is too hot to get outside. They are very durable. We do have to use cheese spray to fill them.

Not meant for small dogs.
I bought this toy ball hoping it would be a fun treat dispenser for my Shih Tzu, but it’s way too big for her to handle. The grooves are really deep, so treats just get stuck inside and she can’t get them out. The texture is also super slippery, so she has trouble keeping a grip on it, and the plastic is heavy and not flexible at all. Overall, not a great fit for small dogs.

It'll only last a week
Size: 5 Inch, Color: Classic Bone, Size: 5 Inch, Color: Classic Bone
We've only had it a few days and she's already half way through it. It won't last the week. She doesn't eat it, she spits out the pieces. If you buy it was a consumable, totally worth the money. I'll probably buy my power chewer a couple a month
