There is currently fledgling support for the WisBlock RAK4631 module. The WisBlock ecosystem allows for an expansion of sensor, display and I/O devices.
|
||||
The RAK WisBlock is a low power modular hardware system that can be used to build Meshtastic devices. Soldering is only required for the OLED screen.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need a [base board](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-base), a [core 4631 LPWAN module](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-core/products/rak4631-lpwan-node) and optionally a [1910 GPS sensor](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-sensor/products/rak1910-max-7q-gnss-location-sensor) to build a Meshtastic device.
|
||||
|
||||
Both available base boards ([5005](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-base/products/rak5005-o-base-board) & [19003](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-base/products/wisblock-base-board-rak19003)) have a reset button, support an OLED screen, and have built in connectors for a 3.7V LIPO battery (max 4.3V) and 5V Solar panel (max 5.5V)
|
||||
|
||||
A user button is not possible with the 19003 base board, it may be possible to add a user button to the 5005 base board using the [13002 IO module](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-interface/products/adapter-module-rak13002).
|
||||
|
||||
The RAK 1910 GPS is supported on slot A of the 5005 board currently.
|
||||
|
||||
Flashing the firmware is a simple process connect your device via usb and click the reset button twice and a drive will appear on Windows Linux or Mac drag the appropriate .uf2 firmware file onto the root of the drive and the firmware will be updated.
|
||||
|
||||
There is currently no pin required to pair RAK devices via BLE.
