	~~=== Next steps ===~~
	~~Stuff to do after this:~~
	* configure a node for over-the-air activation instead of hard-coding a pre-configured set of keys in the node, see also [http://~~forum.thethingsnetwork.org/t/over-the-air-activation-otaa-with-lmic/1921]~~
	* get a better idea of the messages exchanged in the LoraWAN protocol: log events in the onEvent() function, or log more communication with the radio
	* actually attach a data source (like a sensor) to the node
	* get a better idea of the performance, I'm getting the impression that RSSI was quite low and that a lot of my packets were not received by the network

 I don't know if connection of all the DIOx pins is really needed.
 At least DIO2 on the RFM95 seems to be used exclusively for some frequency-hopping feature (which is AFAIK not used in LoraWAN), I guess you can ignore that signal.
