Whoop, a last-minute bit of overtime to cover an interesting new gadget from #RAKwireless: the WisMesh Tag card-style location tracker for the #Meshtastic mesh LoRa mesh network - and it's being *very* aggressive in its comparisons to the earlier Seeed Studio SenseCap T1000-E Card Tracker.

#OpenSauce recap, rumors on new hardware from #RakWireless and #Heltec, plus some wacky cases on reddit this month. Voice Of The Mesh #Podcast - August 2025. #Meshtastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzWEEW2R88Y

(This time with link, because I'm GOOD at social media)

@Ric I’ve used https://mpowered247.com/ for #rakwireless boards in the UK and https://3dchicken.co.uk/ for high quality printed cases.

🎙️ In the Network Ep. 1 is live!

We sat down with Ken Yu, CEO of RAKwireless, to talk about RAK’s journey, their role in the Meshtastic ecosystem, and what’s coming next.

And there's the #RAKwireless shipment email. Origin: China.

I guess we'll see how well this #meshtastic hardware fares in the new tariff regime, and whether tariffs are applied based on when the product was ordered or based on when the product hits the border.

I ordered a #meshtastic device from #RAKwireless, and have zero idea when it's going to show up. Shopify wants me to install an app to see tracking, and it's through a courier in any case. No idea how tariffs are going to impact the purchase, either.

Anyone have advice?

Once you get the right hardware (RAK4200) everything suddenly works as expected

Spent half a day trying to get uart2 on a RAK4600 to work, only to find out that contrary to the provided documentation it is not supported

If you are in the #netherlands and interested in #lora and #meshtastic it’s time to celebrate because TinyTronics now has the full range of hardware and sensors from #RAKWireless in stock! No more excessive wait times or import fees to get your hands on the good stuff! https://www.tinytronics.nl/index.php?route=product/search&search=Rakwireless (not affiliated but I use this store quite a bit and highly recommend!)

RAK3172T in Arduino
As the RAK11300 did not really match my requirements (it uses way too much energy), I looked further and found the RAK3172 which is based on an STM32WLE5CCU6 - an STM32 chip which usually include good powersaving modes. As with the RAK11300, I did not want to go down the Wisblock way and designed my own breakout board:

GeeekPi RPi 4G Hat for RAKwireless RAK5146 USB
In 2021 I started playing around with the SX1303 based RAKwirless RAK5146 USB LoRaWAN concentrator in mini-PCIe form factor ( 1, 2 ). Back at the time I used the RAK2287 Pi Hat which - even though the website states otherwise ("Note: RAK2287/RAK5146 Pi HAT is compatible only with the SPI version of the RAK2287 and RAK5146 LPWAN concentrators.") is actually compatible with t

oh man, what a fun few hours! lol

I tried setting up my Meshtastic kit and had nothing but problems, lol

the short version is, the OLED faces the other way, over the switch on the 19001 board, in order to work

if you don't get this working, you'll frequently encounter, "Timed out waiting for connection completion" when connecting to it via USB

Thank you to someone on the @PrideRadioGroup Discord server for walking me through a few things 🙂

#meshtastic #WisBlock #RAK19007 battery #socket polarity wrong way round. What is best work-around if I want to keep plugging in batteries that I charge using the right polarity?
1) Cut the cables & swap the poles of my batteries & then adapt chargers' polarity round? Is that a fire risk if someone then puts in a normal polarity battery?
2) Soldering out socket & turning it round?
3) An adapter to be had?
4) Adapt the socket?
5) Adapt the battery plug?

RAK11300 Teardown
About a year ago I got some RAK11300 modules - which are a nice combination of an RP2040 alongside a SX1262 radio on one module - designed a breakout board - tested it - and quickly shelved it. Reason was that this module was somewhat Arduino compliant - as stated - however only with RAKwireless Arduino mbedOS Repo. Alongside of it being a bit.
