RAK WisBlock Devices
The RAK WisBlock is a modular hardware system that can be used to build Meshtastic devices.
RAKwireless sells multiple Meshtastic Starter Kits that have the minimum you need to get started. There are two available options (with each having multiple variants for customizability), one with an nRF52 core module and one with an RP2040 core module.
If you wish to purchase parts separately, you will need a WisBlock Base Board and a WisBlock Core Module. Please ensure you choose the correct operating frequency for your country when purchasing.
You can optionally purchase peripherals such as a GPS module, Screen, Sensor, or other various modules.
For a full list of RAKwireless Meshtastic-compatible devices and components, visit their Meshtastic Collection.
Please see the RAK documentation for the correct way to connect your hardware to the baseboard to ensure that you do not damage the device.
