So there's a lot of interest here in LoRa/radio that works at reasonable ranges and doesn't generally suck.
It looks like there are two product lines that are worth investigating for LoRa - RFM9x... series, and the Semtek SX1272,1276,1278.
The RFM92 and RFM95 seem to be the interesting ones for LoRa. These are often advertised as being compatible with SX1272 and 1276 respectively. The 1276 and 1278 are very similar.
Has anyone tried any of these?
Has anyone written modules for any of these?
At least one of us is going to need to take the plunge and write a module for one of these (that might be me), but it'd be best to make sure the module was written for the part that the greatest number of people would be able to reuse.
Also:
Has anyone tried the RFM69W? It's fairly cheap, and works on 433 mhz - I'd love to know how well, or poorly, it works. It looks like it's got significantly higher transmit power than the cheapo ones, as well as the builtin decoder/encoder.
Anyone know of any other LoRa transceivers that might be a better choice?
