Slice of Radio - Wireless RF transciever for the Raspberry Pi

The Slice of Radio is an easy to use, secure, two way RF transceiver for the Raspberry Pi. Comes as a pre built module so is plug and play, it utilises the Raspberry Pi's on board serial port (UART @ 9600bps) for communication so needs no driver. Being so low profile, the Slice of Radio will fit inside many Pi cases, the Stealth and Pi-Bow have been tried already (we've been told the Adafruit Pi Box works too). The on board "chip" antenna gives good performance for a very small package and can be extended in range by simply soldering on an 8.2cm wire whip. For even greater range it is possible to a u.fl connector to provide an external connection to an antenna using an SMA to u.fl pigtail lead. We have a number of antennas available on the shop.

• Plug n Play (uses the Pi serial port, needs no software)

• Long range (200m line of sight with chip antenna, up to 1000m with an external antenna)

• Talk to any of our radios (communicate with the XRF, SRF, URF, ERF etc )

• LED indicators (visually see what is happening)

• Perfect choice to use LLAP sensors (talk direct to our sensors)

• Code compatible with the popular Slice of Pi (the web is a great source of projects)

• Supports 128bit AES encryption (scramble your data from peering eyes)

• Supports wireless programming of the XinoRF and RFu direct from the Arduino IDE (build and program sensors and actuators direct from your Pi)

Features:

• Simple plug and go radio module for the Raspberry Pi
• Based on the SRF Radio Module
• Talks to all our radio's
• TTL UART (/dev/ttyAMA0 on the Raspberry Pi)
• Supports Over The Air Micro Programming (OTAMP)
• TX & RX activity LED's
• Heartbeat LED
• Fits inside the Stealth Case from ModMyPi
• Fits inside the PiBow from Pimoroni
• Default 9600 Baud
• Optional Antenna U.Fl Connector or wire whip 
• Configuration reset pins.
• Raspberry Pi Pins used:
  • TXD
  • RXD
  • GPIO22 (for OTAMP)
• Made in the UK
