Today I received a new #RAKwireless toy based on #STM32 RAK3272-SiP breakout board.
Works like a charm on #meshcore

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 ;)

Wow, it seems like I just had a #RAKWireless 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.

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
