Hi,
I didn't know that the RFM69's aren't regularly spaced - they don't fit the standard header pins. What's the best way to wire them up so you can still use dupont cables to move them around?

There are a couple of RFM69 breakout board designs out there that make breadboarding easier:

The first is available from OshPark:

I ordered and received some over a month ago, still haven't managed to find the time to solder them up :-(
I soldered short "dupont" cables (Pin-Pin) cut in half directly to the modules and also used short (3/8") wires that then spread out to fit into breadboard spacing. Both methods work but are flimsy. Now I have uChip's first boards and they work great; just received some of his new design; hope to try them out this weekend: https://github.com/uChip/Moteino_Peripherals_Half-Shield
Thanks Chip!
