A few days ago I finished tests on my breadboard, being positive I decided to migrate my project to a pcb not only for functionality and practicality, but also for aesthetics, I have chosen the PCB manufacturer company Seeedstudio.com, we all know it as a manufacturer of hardware and IoT solutions , but they also have a PCB manufacturing service. I want to prove how my new ESP-LoRa / LoRaWAN prototype is. And making 10 prototypes is very simple and very economical for $5 USD.
