1 - it is necessary for a reader to distinguish the difference between statement "compatible"
and statement "fully compatible".
SoftRF implements only a reasonable minimum of the protocols specs.
No "bells and whistles" so far.
It was reported by RAKwireless that the RAK11300 module's RF design is approved by appropriate government agencies.
The FCC ID and CE mark are located on it's label:
These approvals are typically applicable for:
- land use and
- with genuine factory firmware.
For more information, please, contact to RAKwireless sales or customer service.
In general a lot of Chinese DIY electronics manufacturers are known to behave this way:
- sometimes they may not apply necessary Q.C. before releasing of a product from factory ;
- they may arbitrary change schematics and electronic components from one batch to the next one ;
- they may terminate manufacturing of a board just few month after initial production.
Because of that, author of SoftRF:
- will reject any hardware related claims associated with RAKwireless WisBlock components. Ask for support from seller or manufacturer ;
- reserves the right to suspend or terminate support of RAK WisBlock products in the firmware at any time.
For the time being ( March '22 ) there were no critical hardware issues reported for current version of the RAK11310 WisBlock Core. However things my change over the time...
If you have issues with bringing up your new RAK WisBlock products or just not happy with the boards - be prepared to execute your Purchase Protection plan.

There are few options of factory made enclosure that can accommodate RAK5005-O WisBlock Base with modules.
The most advanced one is probably RAKBox-B2 product. It has built-in solar panel and it is outdoor IP67/NEMA6 rated (weather proof).
There is also a possibility to build the Lego Edition with WaveShare 'building blocks' products designed for genuine Raspberry Pi Pico board:
The required minimum of modules is:
- WaveShare Pico-LoRa-SX1262-868M
- WaveShare Pico-GPS-L76B
When you need an air pressure sensor, you may also consider the WaveShare Pico Environment Sensor module as well:
