I'm trying to figure out how I will make an RFM69W LoRa Module work with The Things Network, so I looked over many tutorials, code samples, and libraries. The one I find closest to LoRaWan support is:

https://github.com/matthijskooijman/arduino-lmic because of LoRaWan support.

But it seems that has a specific chipset support that may not be compatible with adafruit RFM69W.

The one that mentioned in adafruit's site is just sending bulk data over an rf channel such as radiohead and powerlab's after a quick look over the libraries for arduino.

Has anyone tried to use the chip with LoRaWan specs, if yes then how did you do it, which libraries did you use for arduino?

Just to clarify from what I undestand when researching these modules:

  • RFM69x - Packet Radio (not LoRa)
  • RFM96x - LoRa Radio (or RFM95 / RFM97 - thanks Chris)

If you're trying to use an RF69x for LoRa, that's your issue

A quick google search should show you how to get LoRaWan up and running if you have the correct radio module (RFM9xx).

Hope this helps.
