🔌 Typical Pin Connections (SPI)
Exact pin labels may vary by breakout or PCB — always refer to your board layout.
| SX1262 | MCU (ESP32 example) |
|---|---|
| VCC | 3.3V |
| GND | GND |
| SCK | GPIO18 |
| MOSI | GPIO23 |
| MISO | GPIO19 |
| NSS / CS | GPIO5 |
| RESET | GPIO14 |
| BUSY | GPIO27 |
| DIO1 | GPIO26 |
📌 BUSY and DIO1 are required for correct operation on SX1262 devices.
🔌 ESP32 Wiring Notes (Recommended Platform)
✔ ESP32 is ideal due to:
-
Native 3.3V logic
-
Fast SPI
-
Low-power sleep modes
-
Strong LoRa library support
📌 Do not connect SX1262 directly to 5V Arduino GPIO without level shifting.
🛠 Arduino IDE Library (Recommended)
Use RadioLib (actively maintained, SX126x-native):
Arduino IDE → Library Manager → Search “RadioLib”
✔ Supports SX1262
✔ Supports LoRa, GFSK
✔ Works with ESP32, STM32, Arduino (3.3V)

|---|---|---|
| No communication | BUSY/DIO1 not wired | Connect correctly |
| Init fails | Wrong pins | Verify Module() wiring |
| Very short range | No antenna | Fit proper antenna |
| ESP32 resets | TX current spike | Use solid 3.3V supply |
| Garbage packets | RF mismatch | Check frequency & BW |
🧩 LoRaWAN Use
This module can be used with LoRaWAN, but requires:
-
LoRaWAN firmware stack
-
Proper regional parameters (AU915 / US915)
-
Gateway for network operation
📌 For beginners, start with point-to-point LoRa first.
