This package provides a Python wrapper of the LowPowerLabs RFM69 library
and is largely based on the work of Eric Trombly who ported the library from C.
The package expects to be installed on a Raspberry Pi and depends on the RPI.GPIO and spidev libraries. In addition you need to have an RFM69 radio module directly
attached to the Pi. For details on how to connect such a module checkout this guide Connecting the Radio.
There are links to an Arduino installation from Adafruit at the bottom of this page.
Connecting to Raspberry Pi#
- Connecting the Radio from RPI RFM69 library
- Installing the library, which comes down to the following:
sudo pip3 install rpi-rfm69

* These numbers refer to the pin index when you could from top left to bottom right i.e. odd number on the left and evens on the right. These are not the GPIO numbers. pinout.xyz is an amazingly helpful tool.
