Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this a gateway module?
No, this is a LoRa node module. It can operate in LoRaWAN networks or mesh networks such as Meshtastic.
Does it support Linux?
Yes. It provides an AT command interface by default, compatible with Linux and other operating systems that support USB CDC-ACM.
Can it run Meshtastic?
Yes. It uses the same RAK4630 module as the WisMesh Pocket.
USB vs UART?
USB is recommended for reliability and ease of use across most hosts. UART is suitable for SBC integrations.
