Lora Esp32 Board with SX1276

[chromo23]

I am relatively new to LoRa and have still a lot of study to do. But i also would like to play around with it and implement it in a project.
I´ve also seen that TD-er ist working on a controller.
Today i stumbled across a Lora-Board an i wanted to ask if there is a chance, that this will be supported and whether it is even possible to use it for TTN.
Edit: Since there are a lot of Boards with the ESP32 and the SX1276 available for a good price it would make sense to support the chip...

TD_er presented the controller at TTN:

And there i found this:
"@kersing told me to go with the RN2384, so that’s what I did, but I will also add a controller using the SX127x using LMIC."

But also learned a lot in the last hour and it seems these boards are not the best option....
Here an explanation for people that are interested:

The reason I started with the RN2483 modules from Microchip is that they are relatively simple to handle.
The complete (certified) LoRaWAN stack is running on the module and thus the timing critical stuff and regulations are already dealt with.

I do have quite a lot of those modules with SX1276 chips on them here in my drawer waiting for ESPEasy support, but it has not yet been implemented.
(N.B. the Microchip RN2483 module also has a SX1276 on board, but the difference is in the added controller running a certified stack)

One big problem with the various open source stacks for SX12xx chips, like LMIC, is that none of them is compliant with the LoRaWAN specifications and they are also quite timing critical
This also means it will probably take quite some time to get implemented.
Support for RN2483 already has taken me a lot more time then I anticipated (way over 100 hours) but I hope a lot of time spent on it may also be usable for adding support for the other LoRaWAN boards available.
