I have attempted to use from Amazon RYLR896 Lora Module & Adafruit RFM69HCW without success.  Can you point me to a working module and library?

  • You don't need the adafruit board but two like Reyax will work together. In the former case both need to be capable of working on the same band, ie, the RYLR896 matched to

    Adafruit (PID 3072 RFM95W LoRa Radio Transceiver Breakout - 868 or 915 MHz

    May work. I suggest looking at YouTube videos on using the Reyax board and/or the Adafruit board. I have a project in the works using two 915mhz Reyax boards with two Nano controllers to operate stepper motors over long range.  I'm not there yet, working on other projects at the moment. Good luck! I should mention your location dictates which LoRa frequency you can use. My area is 915MHz.

There are some other good videos with success and code. What have you tried? For instance you can connect RYLR devices to you computer. Using a dumb terminal software communicate with the module using AT commands.
