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

On my Windows 10 Core device I could see messages arriving

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.
