Here is the bar graph showing the prices of the main ICs used in your project.
Based on the chart, the most expensive IC by far is the LoRa-E5 module (STM32WLE5JC), followed by the XIAO RP2040. Below is a table with recommendations for potential alternatives for these parts:
Table
| IC Designator | Original Part Number | Potential Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| U4 | 317990687 (LoRa-E5) | - RAK3172 (RAKwireless) |
| U6 | 102010428 (XIAO RP2040) | - ESP32-WROOM-32 (Espressif Systems) |
| U2 | CN3063 | - MCP73831 (Microchip) |
| IC2 | SP3485EN-L/TR | - MAX485ESA+ (Maxim Integrated) |
| U1 | RT8059GJ5 | - TPS62082DSGT (Texas Instruments) |
| U3 | SY6280AAAC | - AP3211 (Diodes Incorporated) |

@copilot obtain the price of each main IC and then use python to plot a bar graph showing the most expensive ICs in this project. Also, recommend alternatives for those parts in a table format
1y
To obtain the prices for each main IC in your project and plot a bar graph showing the most expensive ICs, we'll follow these steps:
- Extract the prices for each main IC from the available stock and prices information.
- Use Python to create a bar graph.
- Provide recommendations for alternatives in a table format.
Let's start by gathering the prices:
-
XIAO RP2040 U6: 102010428
- Price: $4.68
-
LoRa-E5 STM32WLE5JC U4: 317990687
- Price: $6.83
-
RS485 Transceiver IC2: SP3485EN-L/TR
- Price: $0.36906
-
Buck Converter U1: RT8059GJ5
- Price: $0.14089
-
Power Switch U3: SY6280AAAC
- Price: $0.0977
-
Battery Charger IC U2: CN3063
- Price: $0.5507
-
Boost Converter IC1: MT3608L
- Price: $0.0398
Now, let's use Python to create a bar graph with these prices:
Python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Names of ICs ic_names = ["XIAO RP2040 (U6)", "LoRa-E5 (U4)", "RS485 Transceiver (IC2)", "Buck Converter (U1)", "Power Switch (U3)", "Battery Charger IC (U2)", "Boost Converter (IC1)"] # Prices of ICs ic_prices = [4.68, 6.83, 0.36906, 0.14089, 0.0977, 0.5507, 0.0398] # Plotting the bar graph plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5)) plt.bar(ic_names, ic_prices, color='skyblue') plt.xlabel("IC Names") plt.ylabel("Prices ($)") plt.title("Prices of Main ICs in the Project") plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha='right') plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
Next, I'll recommend alternatives for each of these parts:
Table
| Original IC | Price ($) | Recommended Alternative | Price ($) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 102010428 (XIAO RP2040) | 4.68 | ATSAMD21E18A | ~2.00 | Lower power consumption, similar functionality |
| 317990687 (LoRa-E5) | 6.83 | RN2483 | ~5.00 | LoRaWAN module, similar frequencies |
| SP3485EN-L/TR (RS485) | 0.36906 | MAX485ESA+ | 0.50 | Widely used, similar performance |
| RT8059GJ5 (Buck Converter) | 0.14089 | MP2315 | 0.20 | Higher efficiency, wide input range |
| SY6280AAAC (Power Switch) | 0.0977 | AOZ1935 | 0.15 | Similar functionality, low RDS(on) |
| CN3063 (Battery Charger) | 0.5507 | MCP73831 | 0.40 | Lower cost, popular choice |
| MT3608L (Boost Converter) | 0.0398 | TPS61040 | 0.30 | Higher efficiency, similar features |
Let me proceed to run the Python code and show the resulting bar graph.

Python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Names of ICs ic_names = ["XIAO RP2040 (U6)", "LoRa-E5 (U4)", "RS485 Transceiver (IC2)", "Buck Converter (U1)", "Power Switch (U3)", "Battery Charger IC (U2)", "Boost Converter (IC1)"] # Prices of ICs ic_prices = [4.68, 6.83, 0.36906, 0.14089, 0.0977, 0.5507, 0.0398] # Plotting the bar graph plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5)) plt.bar(ic_names, ic_prices, color='skyblue') plt.xlabel("IC Names") plt.ylabel("Prices ($)") plt.title("Prices of Main ICs in the Project") plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha='right') plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
Image
Here is the bar graph showing the prices of the main ICs in your project:
Image
From the graph, you can see that the most expensive ICs are the LoRa-E5 U4 and the XIAO RP2040 U6.
To help you optimize the cost, I have prepared a table recommending alternatives for these main ICs:
Table
| Original IC | Price ($) | Recommended Alternative | Price ($) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 102010428 (XIAO RP2040) | 4.68 | ATSAMD21E18A | ~2.00 | Lower power consumption, similar functionality |

The "Green Dot 2040E5" Board is a Node that interfaces RS485 Sensor probes and can log information to the cloud using LoRa Connectivity. It uses the XIAO RP2040 and the LoRa-E5 (STM32WLE5JC) modules from Seeed Studio to do its magic. It also has amazing power management capabilities (Solar charging, Battery protection, etc) that make it very useful for IoT applications
