fdlamotteToday I received a new <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/RAKwireless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAKwireless</a> toy based on <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/STM32" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#STM32</a> RAK3272-SiP breakout board. Works like a charm on <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/meshcore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshcore</a> There is only the chip on the board (no regulator) but you can directly use a usb-serial converter to power it up and communicate with it ;)

CryogenicNighthawkWow, it seems like I just had a <a href="https://4d2.social/tags/RAKWireless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAKWireless</a> current sensor go bad after about a month of use.It was impeding current flow (thus stopping the battery from being charged) and when I swapped it out for a replacement, the replacement worked just fine.<a href="https://4d2.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a> <a href="https://4d2.social/tags/MeshRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MeshRadio</a> <a href="https://4d2.social/tags/mesh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mesh</a> <a href="https://4d2.social/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#radio</a> <a href="https://4d2.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://4d2.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repair</a>

Ben Keith 🚲And there's the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/RAKwireless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAKwireless</a> shipment email. Origin: China.I guess we'll see how well this <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a> 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.

Ben Keith 🚲I ordered a <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a> device from <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/RAKwireless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAKwireless</a>, 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?

Tom :damnified:My original plan was to use the RAK11300 RP2040 + SX1262 LoRa module to transmit air temp/hum/qual. data via LoRa. ... which works... but the RP2040 does not meet my power consumption targets. I knew it was not the most energy efficient uC, but hoped the RP2040 ecosystem would balance out the power insufficiencies... In the end I decided to switch to another uC.RAKWireless also offers the STM32WLE5 as a WisBlock module, so that's what I will try next. [1]For proper debugging a STLink Debugger has been purchased recently ;-) Waiting for the module to arrive, though ⌛.

NicoRAK3172T 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:This was act <a href="https://www.nico-maas.de/?p=2693" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nico-maas.de/?p=2693</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Computer</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hardware</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LoRaWAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LoRaWAN</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ProductSpecific" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProductSpecific</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Projects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Projects</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Radiolib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Radiolib</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/RAK3172" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAK3172</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/RAK3172T" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAK3172T</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/RAKwireless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAKwireless</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/STM32" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#STM32</a>
