FAQS for SenseCAP M1
What is the difference between the 2G / 4G / 8G RAM version?
2G/4G / 8G stands for the RAM (random access memory) difference of Raspberry Pi 4 in SenseCAP M1. You could not choose for the RAM so far, and there will be no functional difference being a miner.
The voltage of electricity SenseCAP M1 might approximately cost?
About 5W, just as the electricity consumption of an ordinary light bulb.
Any extra fees for setting up SenseCAP M1?
The device has already covered a $40 activation fee for users to set up SenseCAP M1 and a $10 fee to set the location of SenseCAP M1 on the Helium App. Only when you try to reset the location of your SenseCAP M1, you have to pay an extra $10. For detailed information about fees, please refer to the Helium Transaction Fees page.
Does SenseCAP M1 support connecting to a 3rd party server other than Helium?
No, the SenseCAP M1 LoRaWAN gateway is only compatible with the Helium Network server.
Does SenseCAP M1 support PoE?
No. 5V-3A power adapter is used to power the unit through the Type-C connector next to the Ethernet port. You need a PoE injector and splitter to support POE
As an indoor gateway, can it be used outdoors?
SenseCAP M1 is an indoor gateway, so it is not designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments standing and it should not be placed in an outdoor environment without any extra protection.
What type of antenna connector is on the Sensecap M1?
SenseCAP M1 has RP-SMA female connector, and the antenna is with RP-SMA male connector. Our stock fiberglass antenna all have an N-type male connector, with a provided LMR200 cable with N-female and RP-SMA male connector.
What voltage/amps does the Device run on?
The voltage is 5V DC.
Do you know the size/measurements of the PCB?
The size of the device is 154*100*44 mm and the weight is 370g.
