It is sad that this amazing unique forum, not to have a start up code for each major application
[rant]
its not the fault of the forum its pbp's total lack of development that causes the issue.
pbp cannot easily manage memory/memory structures or most of the pic inbuilt hardware modules. its difficult to
make easy to use flexible pin definitions to use in include files so that library functionality can be created.
most of my stuff uses asm and usercommand to overcome some of these hurdles but that leads to another level
of complexity for code that translates between pic16/18 platforms. half the people here never even upgraded to pbp3
the lack of usercommand in pbp2 kills that sort of combability anyway. you would have to wonder if more people upgraded to
pbp3 in the past if development would have continued instead of becoming a backwater. all this stuff is dead easy in C .plug and play in Arduino


the rfm69 family of modules are a quite complex device to use , their range and speed make the effort worthwhile
if warranted. i have used them for several years now and did initially use them with pbp3. i did not publish
my code for a number of reasons :-
i wrote it specifically to suit my application , to be compatabile with rfm12bs[a retrograde step] , the code is completey undocumented .
you could write a small novel explaining usage of a rfm69w/cw/hcw... . i look back on other less complex things i have posted
code for like TFT modules, i went to a lot of trouble to make it easy-ish and adaptable . i think 3 people have had some
success in using the code . three people in the whole world FFS. the rfm69 code can be more complex and they are more exotic why would i
bother.
unless you really need the speed/range then there a many less complex devices to use. you thought my suggestions for your gps project
were overly complex rfm69 code is of the same ilk maybe more so.
i was going to say nrf24L01 is a candidate ,very cheap not too hard to use but just noticed i did not even bother to create a pbp include for them , its all C from here
