Key features:
- Powered by 2xAA (1.5v) batteries or a single (3.0v) battery.
- Waterproof if installed in an "easy to find worldwide" 83x58x33mm waterproof plastic enclosure (multiple choices: clear cover, wall mounting tabs, etc.).
- Class A battery powered or Class C external powered via screw terminal.
- RAK811 = SX1276+STM32L151. So no additional cpu/microcontroller needed for a complete solution.
- Can be programmed using
RAK Unified Interface (RUI) API, <https://doc.rakwireless.com/quick-start/rak5010-wistrio-nb-iot-tracker/rui-online-compiler>_ for rapid development or STM32 CUBE LoRa stack. - TH pad for a spring antenna or U.FL connector for external antenna.
- Prototyping/expansion area.
How to use this repository
The PCB was developed in KiCad V5.1, and include some elements from the official repo.
To setup KiCad to use the downloaded library from the repo instead of the stock that came with the installer, this post <https://forum.kicad.info/t/library-management-in-kicad-version-5/14636>_ will give you some lights.
