Move-X Cicerone LoRa®/GNSS Board

Move-X Cicerone LoRa®/GNSS Board is a high-performance, low-power, Arduino MKR-compatible development board based on the MAMWLE LoRa Module and the u-blox MAX-M10S GNSS Module. The Cicerone Board delivers best-in-class GNSS, long-range wireless connection, and high-performance MCU processing in a low-power solution for optimal battery life.

The Cicerone Board allows users to build tracking applications worldwide with meter-level accuracy and to communicate long-range, low-power data via LoRaWAN®. The integrated Li-Po charging circuit enables the Cicerone Board to manage battery charging through the USB port.

The Move-X Cicerone LoRa/GNSS Board features a compact 63mm x 25mm form factor and is compatible with all Arduino MKR Shield Boards. These boards all share a common pinout to enable developers to easily add expansions with minimal software changes.
