Hi @MCU, MPU & Firmware and @PCB & Analog folks. Today at 1500 GMT, @Navadeep will be leading this week's Office Hours session on Component Inventory, Sourcing & Planning! If you're learning how to navigate component evaluation and lifecycles, this is a great place to start.
@Joseph Ogbonna @ShreeshaN @Petr Dvořák @pallavaggarwal may have some advice but this is also a great question for @Navadeep during OH later today—especially with respect to how you can effectively source whatever you select: general-dev-chat
Each renowned manufacturer provides engineers with application notes, reference designs and design guides. I believe the best start is to study available literature before.

I would like to send values from an Arduino to another one (one value every 10 minutes). I have a distance of 80-100m outdoors with trees between the Arduinos. The transmitter should consume as little power as possible because it will be on battery, while the receiver will be on mains power. What solution do you suggest? I don’t know the maximum distance (WiFi, radio, Bluetooth, IR…). Thanks
hi camila , recommend using LoRa (Long Range) technology, for long-range, low-power wireless communication , you'll need a LoRa transceiver module compatible with Arduino, such as the RFM95W or SX1276/77/78/79 module
Another option is Bluetooth with Coded PHY support. This extends the range of bluetooth and is likely the lowest cost and power. LoRa is a good option as well, but your receiver has to function as a gateway. LoRa will have the best range, but BT coded PHY should meet or exceed your range needs as well. As always with wireless range, I would do some field testing with existing product or dev kits before finalizing your design. Also, antenna design/performance is always a large factor with any wireless design.
Okk thank you Mike I’m curious, have you encountered any specific challenges or drawbacks when compared to LoRa? I’m always interested in learning from others.
