RFM69 module w/Raspberry Pi on Win IoT?
Any guidance on connecting/operating an RFM69 radio module to a Rasp Pi 3 board using Adafruit's (awesome) WinIoT Core drivers library? Is it doable?

I'm afraid we've never tried that combination. Maybe someone from the community will have suggestions.

Re: RFM69 module w/Raspberry Pi on Win IoT?
Thanks, Mike.
I'll give it a shot (admittedly, I have no idea what I'm doing!). We run a lot of IoT projects that use a sort of hub-and-spoke model. The spokes are Feather-equipped sensors (light, temp, humidity, sound, motion, contact, etc.), and the hub is something like an ESP8266 board...something with a WiFi radio. The sensors txmit to the hub via RFM69 radios. The sensor setups are great because the Feather + RFM69 boards are way low-power/super battery-friendly, and the radio means we can put the sensor pretty much anywhere we want. The hub isn't bad, but it would be nice to use a more powerful board for the hub so we can do things like multi-thread,connect even more sensors, connect to a monitor to see what's happening in the web of sensors, etc.

Re: RFM69 module w/Raspberry Pi on Win IoT?
I have a working RFM69 library for Win 10 IoT Core. I tested it with an Adafruit RFM breakout board (https://www.adafruit.com/products/3070), and it's working well. It's using the .NET SPI/GPIO classes to communicate with the hardware, so no need for additional libs. Needs a ton of cleanup and testing, but I'll post to github when I get a chance.
Curious if other people are interested in the library.

I'm also interested in the Windows IOT libs for RFM69

I'm interested in the WinIOT RFM69 lib. Please share when you get it ready.
TIA...
