Please Update the LongFi Library to include The New Arduino PortentaH7 Vision Shield LoRa version.

Clips onto the https://store.arduino.cc/usa/portenta-h7 dual core 160 pin $100 USD board.

Makes machine learning possible on an edge device, perfect for the Helium network. I would test code for you but presently 40 km away from a Gateway, and new Gateways are not shipping very fast.

Any headway on the Portenta with LoRa Vision Shield @kent-williams ? I know a new version of the Arduino mbed core (hopefully out soon) will have some improvements that might make LoRaWan easier to work with. Also the arm MBED API has some LoRa and LoRaWan examples.

Presently my raw example here does connect to Helium, but my experience is a bit lacking for the next steps of data sending and encryption. (Also not having a nearby gateway is a pain). Anyway, I am willing to help in any way that I can.
