X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 Sub-1GHz RF Expansion Board

The X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 is an evaluation board based on the SPIRIT1 RF module SPSGRF-868 expansion of STM32 Nucleo boards.
The SPSGRF-868 module operates in the 868 MHz ISM band and is ETSI certified. Identification of the operating frequency of the X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax (x=4 or 5) is performed through two resistors (R14 and R15).
It is compatible with the MORPHO and Arduino UNO R3 connector layout. The X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 interfaces with the STM32 microcontroller via SPI connections and GPIO pins. The user can change some of the GPIOs by mounting or removing the resistors.
