Receive Basic

I can configure the device to send messages now I need to configure the SX1276 device to receive them. For my first attempt just simple polling for a message to arrive nothing flash.

In the debug window I could see messages from one of my arduino devices

The thread '' (0x2) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Next steps handling inbound & outbound messages with interrupts, then integrating all the samples into a useful functional V1 library.
