The RFM69HCW Transceiver Breakout Board is an inexpensive and versatile radio module. It is perfect for sending text or binary data between two or hundreds of modules, and can be used for home and building automation, sensor networks, automated meter readings, wireless alarm and security systems, industrial monitoring and control, and many more applications.

This transceiver module operates over a wide frequency range, including the 315, 433, 868 and 915 MHz license-free ISM (Industry Scientific and Medical) frequency bands. All major RF communication parameters are programmable and most can be set dynamically. Additionally, it is optimized for low power consumption while offering high RF output power and channelized operation.

The VMA348 RFM69HCW Transceiver Breakout Board brings out all the pins and the antenna connection. Each module comes with headers pre-soldered, a 3.3V voltage regulator and levelshifter that can handle 3-5V DC power and logic, allowing it to be used with 3V or 5V devices. A small piece of wire must be soldered to create the antenna, or a uFL or SMA edge-mount connector can be added and an external antenna attached.

The provided library allows the frequency of the board to be set with 61Hz precision to any frequency from 240.0MHz to 960.0MHz.
