LoRa_FeatherWing_DevBreakout_TransceiverMode
/* LoRa FeatherWing Tranceiver Mode Example Program
* By: Dan Watson | syncchannel.blogspot.com
* Date: 2-23-2016
* Version: 0.2
*
* Example Tranceiver Mode Program for the LoRa FeatherWing for Adafruit Feather
* Tested with Feather M0, Feather 32U4 and Feather HUZZAH
*
* This program configures the Feather as a LoRa receiver. It is intended as a companion
* to the LoRA FeatherWing Beacon Example Program, and can receive the beacon messages.
* It can also be modified to relay serial communications between Feather nodes, amongst
* other things.
*
* This program is adapted from the RFM95W_Nexus library created by Gerben den Hartog
* It has been adapted from his code to work specifically on Adafruit Feather with
* the LoRa FeatherWing. Credit is given to Gerben for is useful library and work!
* Check out his full github repo if you are interested in LoRaWAN.
*
* Based on a library by Gerben den Hartog
