Raspberry PI Lora Gateway/Node for HopeRF RFM95 RFM96 RFM98 Modules
===================================================================
Raspberry PI Lora Gateway/Node for RFM92/95/96/98/69HCW Modules
===============================================================

This shield is used to hold HopeRF [Lora module][4] Software with Raspbery PI. it has just few minimal features and it's working for [TTN network][1]
I tweaked the [Single LoraWan Gateway][5] to get it working out of the box. It should also works with [HAB Supplies Lora Gateway][7] (same pinout), see this excellent [Dave's article][6].

This shield can also act as a LoraWAN Node using [LIMC][9] stack, or also be a Node/Gateway for RF69 networks using the excellent [RadioHead][10] modified library.

As you can see, this shield is small but can do a lot :-)

Features
========
- Placement for RFM92/95/96/98 Lora module or RFM69HCW classic module
- Placement for choosing single Wire, SMA or u-FL Antenna type
- 2 x LED LED for visual indication

**New in Version 1.1**

- Reduced board width so it can be soldered on 2x40 pins connector to expose other GPIOs
- Added DIO1 and DIO2 ORed with DIO0 and 1N4148 diode to conform LIMC stack
- Better ground plane isolation
- Added some via on RF part

I'm waiting now new V1.1 boards from OSHPark and PCBs.io, so I didn't fully tested V1.1 yet, I will update ASAP.

~~I'm waiting boards V1.0~~ Boards arrived from OSHPark, all is working as expected (V1.0). ~~so I didn't fully tested them yet, I will update ASAP~~.
