The RAK WisBlock is a modular hardware system that can be used to build Meshtastic devices.
|
|
|
|
RAK Wireless currently sells a [Meshtastic Starter kit](https://store.rakwireless.com/products/wisblock-meshtastic-starter-kit) that has the minimum you need to get started.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to purchase parts separately, you will need a [WisBlock Base Board](/docs/hardware/devices/rak/base-board) and a [WisBlock Core Module](/docs/hardware/devices/rak/core-module). Please ensure you choose the correct operating frequency for your country when purchasing.
|
|
|
|
You can optionally purchase peripherals such as a GPS module, Screen, Sensor, or other various modules.
|
|
|
|
Please see the RAK documentation for the correct way to connect your hardware to the baseboard to ensure that you do not damage the device.
