RFM95W accessing the extra GPIO pins

Post by phando »

As part of the pinout documentation on the RFM95W, there is mention of using the 5 additional GPIO pins. Do any of you have an example of how to send/receive data from them?

Thanks!

The GPIO pins aren't normally used for data transfer. They're for lighting LEDs and showing status info.

More to the point, the RadioHead library doesn't provide any support for using the GPIO pins, and we don't know of any compatible libraries that do. Using them is a 'dig through the datasheets and register settings' kind of deal.
