About the Pinha lora gateway PCB

Pinha lora gateway is an open source PCB design by brainstorm, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 75 × 86 mm, with 39 components from 32 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the VoCore_v2, si3404, ap2112 and MPCIE-Socket. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 9 capacitors, 8 connectors, 4 ICs, 4 inductors and 3 diodes.

It belongs with the rf & radio designs in this gallery.

From the project

A maker-friendly LoRa mini-pcie gateway with PoE and (plenty of) PMOD

This small LoRa gateway adapter (75x41mm) is motivated by the generous donation of a (n-fuse)[https://www.n-fuse.co/]'s LoRaWan concentrator card. This version of the board is meant to work with the USB firmware for the n-fuse board:

Future versions might switch to the UART version of the n-fuse firmware.

RAK wireless boards might work with this adapter, but they are not tested... I'm open to receive a RAKWireless board to try it out :).
