Move-X Cicerone LoRa/GNSS board is compatible with Arduino MKR form factor

Aug 14, 2022 — by Giorgio Mendoza 1,734 views

The Move-X Cicerone is a new low-power board that puts together the Move-X MAMWLE LoRa module and the u-blox MAX-M10S GNSS module. The Move-X Cicerone also integrates a Li-Po charging circuit for portability.

The Move-X MAMWLE is a low power radio module based on the STM32WL which is an ARM M4 32-bit RISC core with an operating frequency of 48MHz, 128K of Flash memory and 64K RAM. This module can operate in the band of 868 MHz and 915MHz. There is also a LoRaWAN radio (Semtech SX1261/2) integrated in the same chip.

According to Move-X MAMWLE product page, “The Sub-GHz Radio is equipped with two high performance power amplifier to transmit up to +22dBm and the power can be programmed with a step of 1 dB within 32 steps. A high quality TCXO 32 MHz guarantees great stability during transmission.”

Some of the peripherals found on the  Move-X MAMWLE include two SPI, three I2C, two USART, one LPUART, one JTAG, one SWDIO, etc.

On the other hand, the u-blox MAX-M10S is a standard precision GNSS ultra-low-power module (<25mW) with global availability (supports BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS/QZSS). Other key features include advanced spoofing and jamming detection.
