Migrating to RadioLib #120

Closed timmbogner closed 1 year ago

timmbogner commented 1 year ago

Hello everyone! Recently I found the RadioLib project, and it seems like it would be a perfect fit to replace and expand the current LoRa functionality. RadioLib supports a plethora of different radios, opening up a lot of possibilities. I have only just begun experimenting, as I'd run into problems the first time I attempted it. Make sure you choose your correct board in the IDE 😐.

I think the switch would be relatively simple. There are a few details to decide on in terms of handling the library configuration. The term "LoRa" will now technically be a bit too specific, and may have to be replaced with "radio". Not sure about that... A big question I have is whether we can control two radios from one ESP. That would enable some really cool gateway configurations!

For now, I'm curious if anyone has experience with RadioLib or advice/feedback about this. Thanks!

Unrelated: I'm also working on TinyGSM support.
