ESP8266 gateway using RFM95 LoRa

[Uhrheber]

Hi.
I want to use an ESP8266 as gateway, but not with NRF24, but with RFM95, respectively Ra-02 (same SX1278 chip).
The ESP8266 gateway example code has already an option to use an RFM95 as radio.
Anything else besides this that I have to configure?

How do I connect the RFM95 to the ESP8266? Are the connections exactly the same as for RFM69, or is there something different?

Thanks in advance

@Uhrheber welcome to the MySensors community!

Yes the connections are the same so just go ahead and build the gateway.

If you use one of the slow data rates you might need to increase RFM95_RETRY_TIMEOUT_MS.
