Title: Category 'Wireless Communications' in library RFM69_LowPowerLab is not valid. Se
Post by: Digitalsawdust on April 16, 2018, 06:59:28 PM

I'm trying to get the MailboxNotifier code working on an R3 MotionMote board and R6 Moetino.  I keep getting the error message "Category 'Wireless Communications' in library RFM69_LowPowerLab is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'" when trying to verify the code.  I'm using the latest IDE, and got the latest RFM69, LowPower libraries from GitHub.  I went back to the example MailboxNotifier code from the examples in the RFM69 library, modified it for 433mhz, and still get the error. 

I get the same error trying to set up the code for the OLED Motion Mote receiver.

 I'm at a loss at this point.  I'm not sure if I've missed a setting or have something in the wrong place, or what.

Whoops!
This is because a wrong category property in the library.properties file. (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/library.properties)
I fixed that so please update the library and try again, or simply replace the category with Communications in your local library.properties file
Let me know if you still have problems

What version IDE produces this message?

IDE 1.8.5 is what I'm using.  I'll try downloading the library again.
