This is a demo ingenuity micro IoT.Net client (based on one of the examples in my RFM9XLoRaNetMF library) that uploads telemetry data to my Windows 10 IoT Core on Raspberry PI field gateway.
Thought the silk screen says RFM69 this is a prototype running an RFM95 module.
Bill of materials (Prices Sep 2018)
- IoT.Net device (Beta tester will add price when available)
The device has an onboard MCP9808 temperature sensor which kept the BoM really short. I have had to make some modifications to my RFM9XLoRaNetMF library as the IoT.Net device uses a different SPI port. The code for this devices and the changes will be uploaded to GitHub in the next couple of days.

A small footprint, battery powered .NetMF 4.4 LoRa device designed and made in New Zealand with Visual Studio 2017 support is great.
