# modulation and packet format for the radio.

RADIO_FREQ_MHZ = 915.0  # Frequency of the radio in Mhz. Must match your
# module! Can be a value like 915.0, 433.0, etc.

# Define pins connected to the chip, use these if wiring up the breakout according to the guide:
CS = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.CE1)
RESET = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D25)
# Or uncomment and instead use these if using a Feather M0 RFM69 board
# and the appropriate CircuitPython build:
# CS = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.RFM69_CS)
# RESET = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.RFM69_RST)


# Initialize SPI bus.
spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK, MOSI=board.MOSI, MISO=board.MISO)

# Initialze RFM radio

# on the transmitter and receiver (or be set to None to disable/the default).
