1. Will I destroy the Mini Ultra Pro V3 (With Radio) if I do not program it with any LoRa libraries but just use it as how I would use a normal development board? Just wanting to make sure since this board was meant to be used for RF purposes.
2. Must an antenna be connected all the time if I am using the Mini Ultra Pro V3 (With Radio) for either RF or non RF purposes?The RFM95 radio goes into idle mode by default in which the transmitter and receiver internal block is turned off. So, it is okay usually if the radio part not used at all. You can also make sure the CS pin (pin D5) of the radio is pulled high so it is deselected on the SPI bus.
When using the radio, it’s best to have an antenna but based on my experience the RFM95W are pretty tough. But I just only killed 2 units of RN2483A radio when I was lazy plugging in the antenna.
