Title: Getting the RF69 Examples to work for a RF95 chip
Post by: DPalmz on November 25, 2019, 11:20:38 PM
So I have two RF96 (the 433 MHz) Moteino USBs, what is the easiest way to get the examples (specifically node and gateway) to work for the RF95 library?

Those examples are specific to the RFM69 library - in terms of initialization, certain features like encryption and automatic transmission power control (ATC) as well as the function calls to send a packet and put the radio in different modes / receive etc.
For LoRa radios I would recommend the RadioHead (https://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/) library at the moment. It has its own set of examples, albeit their names are a bit less intuitive (ex. what is a datagram ???).

Thanks Felix, I missed those when I looked at their site.
