Indeed.
I did try the code being used, and noticed that pin 8 was being set high, but there is no mention of it here;
//pins for RFM98W
#define RESET 9
#define NSS 10
#define MOSI 11
#define MISO 12
#define SCK 13
#define DIO0 2
#define DIO1 3
SX1278 lora = new Module(NSS, DIO0, RESET, DIO1);
I noticed because most of my boards by default have an LED on pin 8.
So I tried an example from the RadioHead library, and that did the same, in fact configuring pins 6,7,8, as outputs and setting them high. Why would the library do that without apparently being asked to, it could cause all sorts of issues?
You would need to work out why this non-TTN library is doing that, but not in here …
