Title: wireless programming for RFM95 Moteinos
Post by: sharkhat on April 18, 2017, 03:19:33 PM
According to the website
https://lowpowerlab.com/guide/moteino/wireless-programming/

It says 'wireless programming not yet available for Moteinos with LoRa radios'  This was last updated 7 months ago, I was wondering (hoping) there was an advancement on this front.  Without this feature, is the flash chip on the LoRa Moteinos only for storage at this point?

No updates  :-\
FLASH can still be used for storage. Or if you find another way to transfer the new HEX yourself into the same format on the FLASH, the bootloader would pick it up and update the mote. So basically the missing piece is a library or sketch on top of RadioHead that allows transferring the updated sketch HEX.
The biggest roadblock is having to work with RadioHead (3rd party).

Sorry to say but no, just been too busy with other projects and my infrastructure in most projects is RFM69.
If you port the RFM69_OTA library you could achieve OTA for RFM95 on a Moteino.

I would also like to do OTA updates and only use RFM95. The second problem is that my network will be very remote and will need a GSM gateway or I will need to place the pi at the remote network an still be able to do OTA updates.
