micropySX126X

Semtech SX126X LoRa driver for Micropython and CircuitPython.
This library is ported and modified from RadioLib by jgromes.
This library supports generic and Pycom variant micropython as well as CircuitPython.
Tested with:

1. WiPy3.0 + Semtech SX1262MB1PAS shield (LoRa)
2. WiPy3.0 + Ebyte E22-400M22S (LoRa)
3. WiPy3.0 + Ebyte E22-400M30S (LoRa) - Built-in 10dB amplifier, eg. SX1268.setOutputPower(20) = 30dBm output, SX1268.setOutputPower(0) = 10 dBm output
4. LilyGO® T-Echo
5. Raspberry Pi Pico + Waveshare SX126x Pico LoRa HAT
6. HelTec Lora 32 v3

* Compile to .mpy or compile into micropython image to prevent memory issue error
