Buttons

RAK7201 has four (4) buttons, all of which can be configured to execute defined functionality. The stock firmware is configured to send the button's ID number via a LoRa frame whenever one is pressed.

FunctionDescription
Button 1Long press button 1 for three seconds to send a join request. Short-press button 1 to send button 1 data. The data can be personalized with an AT command.
Button 2Long-press button 2 for three seconds to reset the device. Short-press button 2 to send button 2 data. The data can be personalized with an AT command.
Button 3Long-press button 3 to display the battery level (blue LED battery indicator1). Short-press button 3 to send button 3 data. The data can be personalized with an AT command.
Button 4Short-press button 4 to send button 4 data. The data can be personalized with an AT command.

1The percentage charge is identified by the number of lit blue LEDs. Each LED represents 25% of the battery charge. 1 lit blue LED indicates a 1–25% charge, two lit blue LEDs indicate a 26–50% charge, and so on.

LEDs

There are four RGB LEDs, one per button. The following table shows the LEDs' status:
