m5stack-cap-lora-1262

m5stack-cap-lora-1262 is a skill for Claude Code from iot-forge/m5stack-skills. It costs 254 tokens per session (4,679 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hardware and firmware reference for the M5Stack Cap LoRa-1262, an add-on for the Cardputer Adv and CardputerZero. It combines a LoRa long-range radio with a GNSS receiver for satellite positioning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write firmware that communicates over LoRa, reads GPS or other satellite-position data, controls the antenna path, and connects the cap to a supported Cardputer.
Why use it?
It explains the cap's connections, radio controls, and startup requirements, including the need to attach the LoRa antenna before powering it. This reduces the risk of wiring mistakes or hardware damage.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

m5stack-cap-lora-1262 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

M5Stack Cap LoRa-1262 (SKU U214)

A snap-on Cap for the M5Stack Cardputer Adv (K132-Adv) and CardputerZero that adds two independent radios in one accessory:

  • LoRa: Semtech SX1262 sub-GHz transceiver, 868–923 MHz, +22 dBm TX, −147 dBm RX (LDR mode), FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK/LoRa/OOK, external RP-SMA antenna (3 dBi, 108×9.3 mm, included).
  • GNSS: ATGM336H-6N@AT6668 multi-constellation receiver (GPS/QZSS/ BeiDou-2/BeiDou-3/Galileo/GLONASS), 50 channels, up to 10 Hz update, <1.5 m CEP50, built-in ceramic patch antenna. UART interface, default 115200 baud, 8N1.

Official docs: https://docs.m5stack.com/en/cap/Cap_LoRa-1262 Product page/SKU: https://docs.m5stack.com/en/products/sku/U214

Read this first — three things that will kill the cap or your bring-up

  1. Never power on without the LoRa antenna installed. M5Stack's docs are explicit: "the device hardware may be permanently damaged." An SX1262 driving +22 dBm into no load reflects power back into its PA. This is not a warning that can be softened — the antenna is a prerequisite, not an accessory.
  2. The RF antenna switch is gated by an I/O expander pin, not by the SX1262 itself. SDA/SCL on the cap connector go to a PI4IOE5V6408 I/O expander whose P0 must be driven high to enable the RF path. If your first transmit()/receive() calls do nothing (RadioLib returning no error but no packets on the air / no packets received), you almost certainly never enabled P0. See the "Enabling the RF switch" section below.
  3. The LoRa SPI bus is the microSD SPI bus. On the Cardputer Adv, LoRa_SCK=G40, LoRa_MOSI=G14, LoRa_MISO=G39 are the same pins used by the microSD slot (SD_CLK=G40, SD_MOSI=G14, SD_MISO=G39). Only the chip-select is separate (LoRa_NSS=G5 vs SD_CS=G12). This works — SPI is designed for exactly this — but you must not init the SD bus and the LoRa bus as two independent SPIClass instances with different clock/mode settings. Share one SPIClass, or accept that accessing SD and LoRa concurrently requires bus mediation.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
