Best platform (currently) for running RFM69HW?

[NeverDie]

BTW, I did just now order these to have on hand for hooking up 2.0mm pitch modules, like, for instance, the RFM69W to a conventional R3 Arduino shield. I offered $14.01, which the seller accepted, so that's $1.40/board, shipping included.

Just mentioning it here in case anyone else here might also benefit from them.

Has anyone tried the moteino or anarduino using mysensors? I am very tempted to press the buy button on one or the other. Pity they are so pricey but I am getting lazy to solder etc so I like having it all on one PCB :-)

Economy version. Good for prototyping. (from Asia)
Adapter 2.0mm to 2.54mm 8pin --- 2.82 usd / 10pcs (for 5 rmfxx) link
Pin header 2.0mm 40 pin --- 0.62 usd / 10 pcslink
Pin header 2.54mm 40 pin --- 0.53usd / 5pcs link

Here's one I designed which you can get from OSHPark for $5 for 3. I've used it w/ 3.3V signals but it was based on this break out board which the designer reported worked fine using the resistor dividers for 5V signals. Works great for bread-board tests of the RFM69.

I have! I'm using a Moteino as a gateway with a non -H and that worked out of the box. I'm now building some sensors (including the outdoors in the PIR-light one) with -H versions. I bought these Moteinos without the RFM to avoid customs costs.
If you do buy them without RFM; do not forget to insulate the bottom side of the RFM with PV-tape. I didn't, and I couldn't get it to work properly. Insulated and away it went!

In short: Moteino works! Small form-factor, wide voltage input with own LDO and low-power is easy.
Succes with your projects!
