OK, back on topic. I now have a number of RN2483 modules and have designed and had made a small breakout PCB to enable them to be tested. First test was to actually get it to talk to a laptop using a usb to serial module. This works and I can communicate with the module.
I was then able to setup the module to send data to my MultiTech Conduit and on to TTN successfully. This was all hand typing or cut/paste the commands into a terminal window. Next is to connect it to an Arduino and send data from a simple sketch.
These are not easy to hand solder. Had to redesign breakout pcb to give longer pads just to make soldering easier.
Thanks
