/*  CHANGE LOGS by C. Pham
 *  June, 22th, 2017
 *      - setPowerDBM(uint8_t dbm) calls setPower('X') when dbm is set to 20
 *  Apr, 21th, 2017
 *      - change the way timeout are detected: exitTime=millis()+(unsigned long)wait; then millis() < exitTime;
 *  Mar, 26th, 2017
 *      - insert delay(100) before setting radio module to sleep mode. Remove unstability issue
 *      - (proposed by escyes - https://github.com/CongducPham/LowCostLoRaGw/issues/53#issuecomment-289237532)
 *  Jan, 11th, 2017
 *      - fix bug in getRSSIpacket() when SNR < 0 thanks to John Rohde from Aarhus University
 *  Dec, 17th, 2016
 *      - fix bug making -DPABOOST in radio.makefile inoperant
 *  Dec, 1st, 2016
 *      - add RSSI computation while performing CAD with doCAD()
 *      - WARNING: the SX1272 lib for gateway (Raspberry) does not have this functionality
 *  Nov, 26th, 2016
 *		- add preliminary support for ToA limitation
 *      - when in "production" mode, uncomment #define LIMIT_TOA
 *  Nov, 16th, 2016
 *		- provide better power management mechanisms
 *		- manage PA_BOOST and dBm setting 
 *  Jan, 23rd, 2016
 *      - the packet format at transmission does not use the original Libelium format anymore
 *      * the retry field is removed therefore all operations using retry will probably not work well, not tested though
 *          - therefore DO NOT use sendPacketTimeoutACKRetries()
 *          - the reason is that we do not want to have a reserved byte after the payload
 *      * the length field is removed because it is much better to get the packet length at the reception side
 *      * after the dst field, we inserted a packet type field to better identify the packet type: DATA, ACK, encryption, app key,...
 *          - the format is now dst(1B) ptype(1B) src(1B) seq(1B) payload(xB)
 *          - ptype is decomposed in 2 parts type(4bits) flags(4bits)
 *          - type can take current value of DATA=0001 and ACK=0010
 *          - the flags are from left to right: ack_requested|encrypted|with_appkey|is_binary
 *          - ptype can be set with setPacketType(), see constant defined in SX1272.h
 *          - the header length is then 4 instead of 5
 *  Jan, 16th, 2016
 *      - add support for SX1276, automatic detect
 *      - add LF/HF calibaration copied from LoRaMAC-Node. Don't know if it is really necessary though
 *      - change various radio settings
 *  Dec, 10th, 2015
 *      - add SyncWord for test with simple LoRaWAN
 *      - add mode 11 that have BW=125, CR=4/5, SF=7 on channel 868.1MHz
 *          - use following in your code if (loraMode==11) { e = sx1272.setChannel(CH_18_868); }
 *  Nov, 13th, 2015
 *      - add CarrierSense() to perform some Listen Before Talk procedure
 *      - add dynamic ACK suport
 *          - compile with W_REQUESTED_ACK, retry field is used to indicate at the receiver
 *			  that an ACK should be sent
 *          - receiveWithTimeout() has been modified to send an ACK if retry is 1
 *          - at sender side, sendPacketTimeoutACK() has been modified to indicate
 *			  whether retry should be set to 1 or not in setPacket()
 *          - receiver should always use receiveWithTimeout() while sender decides to use
 *			  sendPacketTimeout() or sendPacketTimeoutACK()
 *  Jun, 2015
 *      - Add time on air computation and CAD features
