[Coco] New Arduino for makers

[Salvador Garcia]

 Interesting information, thanks! I have used the RF24L01 modules. "Low" speed for them is 250Kbps.

With such a limiting factor on these LoRa modules, I am not sure what application would be suited for such a slow speed.

 That is a LoRa radio - LOng RAnge.  LoRa achieves this range at the expense
of bandwidth.  It is meant for applications where you only
need to send a few messages an hour.  You also need a LoRa gateway to
receive the transmissions - and they generally are more expensive than
these type of radio modules.

I've been testing LoRa devices for two years, and unless you want to
network at tape recorder speeds - then I wouldn't recommend it for CoCo use.
