Moteino Schematic and Pcb

[malik]

Hi, I have very silly question below, basically looking at the attached schematic of R4 Moteino, we have both RFM12B and RFM69W, am i right to assume we only need one either RFM12B/RFM69W.

You see the two in the schematic because both set of pads are on the back of Moteino.
However only one of them can be soldered. The board can take either a [RFM69W/HW], or a [RFM69CW/RFM12B], these sets correspond to the two sets of pads.

Thanks Felix, one a new design without any Arduino Boot loader, is it straight forward to load the Arduino Bootloader via FTDI header ?

[Felix]

No the FTDI is only for serial programming.
For burning anything on a blank chip you will need ISP programming with an AVR programmer, there are many other alternatives people use to do this, google it
