Description 1.1Overview Capsule Sensor V3 is a tiny portable LoRa/LoRaWAN device based on ESP32-S3 and SX1262. Modular design allows it to adapt to different sensors, so you can easily build applications without being an expert in IoT. Thanks to WirelessBoot1 technology, Capsule Sensor V3 is small, stylish, waterproof, and has a 250mA rechargeable battery, making it perfect for complex environments. Whether you want to build your applications or run open-source programs like Meshtastic2 , Capsule Sensor V3 is a great choice. Capsule Sensor are available in two product variants:
