STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 Expansion Board

STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 Expansion Board is a development and demonstration platform for the S2-LP Ultra-Low Power, Sub-1GHz Transceiver, and is designed to operate in the 868MHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) frequency band. The X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 Expansion Board from STMicroelectronics is compatible with the Arduino™ UNO R3 connector and the ST Morpho connector, so it can be plugged into the STM32 Nucleo Development Board and stacked with additional STM32 Nucleo expansion boards.

The X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 interfaces with the STM32 Nucleo microcontroller via SPI connections and GPIO pins. The GPIOs can be changed by mounting or removing resistors.
