Hardware Overview
How does it work?
LR 5 Click is based on the 32001409, a low-power, long-range RF technology-based transceiver module from Mipot. It offers a long-range spread spectrum communication with high interference immunity. The network is implemented as a star topology, where endpoints work in duty cycle mode, significantly reducing the overall power consumption. This Click board™ features an embedded LoRaWAN Class A and Class C compliant stack, offering an easy and reliable solution for developing low-power, highly integrated IoT networks, security systems, alarm networks, and similar applications that require simple and reliable networking solutions. This Click board™ can be configured as either END or MASTER NODE using simple AT commands. While working as the MASTER NODE, the Click board™
can use a set of master-specific commands, such as the pairing command. This command will add the end node, which requested pairing, to the master network table. While working as the END NODE, LR 5 Click can issue slave-specific commands/requests, such as the pairing request command, allowing that end node to be paired with the master. LR 5 Click communicates with MCU using the UART interface with commonly used UART RX and TX pins at data rates up to 115200bps for data transfer. In addition to these features, the 32001409 also uses several GPIO pins connected to the mikroBUS™ socket. The WK pin routed on the CS pin of the mikroBUS™ represents the Wake-up function used for waking up the device, while the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket can perform a Hardware Reset
function by putting this pin in a logic low state. This Click board™ also has an indicator routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS ™ socket, which will provide the user with feedback after a successfully received package and verified checksum. LR 5 Click features the SMA antenna connector with an impedance of 50Ω, so it can be equipped with the appropriate antenna that MIKROE offers. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
EasyPIC v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports many high pin count 8-bit PIC microcontrollers from Microchip, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, EasyPIC v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any
circumstances at any time. Each part of the EasyPIC v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module, which offers many valuable programming/debugging options and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment, the board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB DEVICE, and CAN are also included, including the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, two display options (graphical and character-based LCD), and several different DIP sockets. These sockets cover a wide range of 8-bit PIC MCUs, from the smallest PIC MCU devices with only eight up to forty pins. EasyPIC v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.

2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.

3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

* \brief LR5 Click example
*
* # Description
* This example reads and processes data from LR 5 clicks.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes UART interface and UART interrupt, and performs a module reset commands.
*
* ## Application Task
* Performs a group of commands to get FW version, the serial number provided by Mipot,
* DevEUI, the session status, the activation status and the parameters for the selected channel.
* Also sets the next transmission data rate to the desired value.
* The responses from the Mipot module to the host will be sent to the uart terminal.
*
* ## Additional Function
* - lr5_process - The general process of collecting data the module sends.
* - make_response - Stores data from the module to the response structure.
* - log_response - Sends the received response from the module to the uart terminal.
* - wait_response - Waits until response from the module is ready and then calls the
* response logging function, or writes the error message on the uart terminal.
