Sure, there is already the KiCAD file including everything to play around with on your own; added a picture of the schematic here for a quick glance without downloading.

Hi.
oki, in case i'll add some explanation.. I'll be busy for this week but you can simply use the serial gw example from MySensors for getting started, this should work. I didn't need to create a special board in arduino for this board, so if you're using it, you'll need to install&use the mattairtech SAMD21 board definition for the pin mapping.

Hey guys aside from these power-consumption issues, I am now running the Feather as gateway and node.
And I get a strange problem.
The gateway is attached to a raspberry pi via usb (by-id), which runs fhem. And everything works great for about an hour to 1 1/2. Then somehow the gateway stops receiving/communicating. I already tried an active USB-Hub incase the power consumption was too high for too long. But that didn't help. I have to reset the gateway and node to make it work again.
Did anybody else ever experience similar behaviour?
High sensitivity: down to -148 dBm.
From the datasheet. There probably needs to be some margin, but my experience with Sigfox shows that -130 is quite reliable. After that, packets start go missing. I would guess LoRa is similar.
Thanks! I'm looking for a way to upload the FreeCad Files here, but so far the Website does not allow uploading of unknown file types (like *.Fcstd). Cheers!
Hi, not sure if @Floca get his nodes working, but for me, the problem got fixed with this
#define MY_RF69_IRQ_NUM MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN
as mentioned by @mfalkvidd Thanks!
There are also other solutions that have I2C bus pins on the shield and if you are going to make a battery powered node, I'd suggest to use an I2C sensor as it will be much more battery friendly
