A proper way of doing read callback receive with Arduino LoRa
Arduino LoRa is a great library that brings LoRa support (SX1276/SX1277/SX1278/SX1279) to Arduino world. I'm using it in my Crossbow LRS project (still not stable enough for flight, work in progress). Until now, the biggest problem with this library I've found is that examples suggests that heavy protocol processing inside interrupt callback is fine.
Unfortunately, it is not. It can lead to unexpected processing delays, create conflicts with other interrupts, bus clashes and other hard to debug things. This is why, the better way is to do packet reading (and processing) inside main loop and use read callback only to set a flag. Like this:
Only please remember to set all variables modified in ISR routine as volatile
