Is there a way to debug the RFM69.
I have ported code for the Microchip PIC and while it compiles and runs, the radios do not pass data.
How can I detect what is happening and debug this system?
There is 1 way that will give you the most precise results, but is not the easy way and it's the only thing I've used when debugging the RFM69: logic analyzer that can interpret SPI signals and serial data (so you visually see the bytes not just 1s and 0s). I don't have any other suggestion. To do this on an oscilloscope you would need an expensive one with deep memory and ability to decode the SPI signals.

I added a Return(Out_Word); to the WriteSPI routine so I can see what the RFM69 is responding.
SPI works.
I just see IRQ (DIO0) always low.
What sequence of commands can I send to the RFM69 to clear the IRQ and see that it is transmitting and or receiving?
Please see the datasheet for those type of details.
I think this is a Moteino forum.

Let me clarify:
I think this guy is busy as hell doing a great job supporting an awesome product, and to expect him to field every question somebody has about some chip they use on a different board is pretty unreasonable.
