The RAK WisBlock is a low power nrf52 based modular hardware system that can be used with Meshtastic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need a base board, a core 4631 LPWAN module and optionally a 1910 GPS sensor to build a Meshtastic device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently the onboard reset button and OLED screen are supported by both base boards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The RAK 1910 GPS is supported on slot A currently which is only available on the 5005 base board.
|
