This is an early version of the Artemis Global Tracker Radio Board. It works, but it has limitations...:

We routed the RFM97CW Reset and DIO pins through the TCA9534 I²C GPIO expander, to save on pin count
- This makes it tricky to use it directly with the Arduino RadioLib Library
We forgot to include a MOSFET power switch for the microSD card
- This makes it tricky to minimize the current draw

If you're happy with those limitations, grab yourself a bargain!
