Receive and Transmit Interrupts
For the second to last development iteration of my RFM9X LoRa NetMF library client I have got the interrupt handler working for transmitting and receiving messages. My code sends a message every 10 seconds then goes back to waiting in receive mode .

On the Netduino3 device messages were being sent and received
The thread '' (0x2) has exited with code 0 (0x0). Sending 19 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! 0 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done Sending 19 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! 1 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done Sending 19 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! 2 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done Sending 19 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! 3 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done RegIrqFlags 50 Receive-Message Received 15 byte message HeLoRa World! 0 RegIrqFlags 50 Receive-Message Received 15 byte message HeLoRa World! 2 Sending 19 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! 4 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done RegIrqFlags 50 Receive-Message
On my Windows 10 Core device I could see messages arriving
RegIrqFlags 01010000 RX-Done Received 19 byte message Hello NetMF LoRa! 1 The thread 0x168 has exited with code 0 (0x0). RegIrqFlags 01010000 RX-Done Received 19 byte message Hello NetMF LoRa! 2 The thread 0x8 has exited with code 0 (0x0). RegIrqFlags 01010000 RX-Done
This library is going to be quite a bit smaller/lighter than my Windows 10 IoT Core one so the next so next step event handlers and refactoring.
