X-NUCLEO-IDS01A5
Sub-1 GHz RF expansion board based on SPSGRF-915 module
for STM32 Nucleo
Data brief
Description
The X-NUCLEO-IDS01A5 is an evaluation board
based on SPIRIT1 RF module SPSGRF-915 to
allow expansion of STM32 Nucleo boards. The
SPSGRF-915 module operates in the 915 MHz
ISM band and is FCC certified (FCC ID:
S9NSPSGRF) and IC certified (IC:8976C-
SPSGRF). Identification of the operating
frequency of the X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax (x= 4 or 5)
is performed through two resistors (R14 and
R15). It is compatible with the ST Morpho and
Arduino UNO R3 connector layout. The X-
NUCLEO-IDS01A5 interfaces with the STM32
microcontroller via SPI connections and GPIO
pins. The user can change some of the GPIOs by
mounting or removing the resistors.
