Hi there,

I wanted to test a lower power setup and ordered some RFM69HC modules. I'm now looking for (easier) tutorials to get started - I'm unsure how to wire and use the chips.

Does anyone maybe have some pointers/links for me?

Thans a lot!

Have a look at https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio

https://github.com/bbx10/nanohab

Might be a good starting point.

Thank's a lot, that looks great!

I tried installing the gateway for nanohab but can't get past flashing to my NodeMCU or Wemos D1. It appears to flash correctly, but the next step is to scan for the AP and I don't see one. My router seems to show the ESP showing up as 192.168.0.48 rather than opening a new AP. This is what displays at the serial monitor:

So, it's definitely not doing what the documentation says it should.
