Properly attach RFM69HCW to Moteino R4
« on: January 04, 2020, 03:59:45 PM »
I would like to solder an RFM69HCW to a Moteino R4 I have attached an image with what I think is the proper setup.  I would appreciate it if someone could verify for me.

Thanks

Felix

Flip it 180 degrees. The crystal side should be on the antenna pad/pin side.

Edit, WRONG see below.

Is the component I circled on the attached image the crystal?

Whoops my bad. Completely wrong answer above.
You cannot solder a HCW to a R4. You can only solder a CW in that position which you have the HCW right now.
Or a HW or W in the position near the antenna pin.

RFM69HCW is only supported starting with R5.
