Reported the same to RAK.  
My led 1 is sometimes working, sometimes not going ‘off’ after removing the charger.

Software: S76G\_B version:3.1.0.4.

I closed the enclosure before attaching the battery … any tips how to ‘crack’ it open again ? 😱

First impression with firmware 3.1.0.5:

- GPS sleep/awake works fine. The at+set\_config=lora:send\_interval variable will extend due to GPS sensor awake time
- Batt charge LED is not working
- The Magnetometer is not send with LPP standard code but as 3 seperate ‘voltage’ sensors:  
**Serial port** :  
Acceleration(g) of X,Y,Z:  
0.12,0.03,0.95  
Gyro(degress/s) of X,Y,Z:  
0.06,-1.35,0.15  
Magnetometer(uT) of X,Y,Z:  
41.25,1.35,5.40

**TTN console:**  
{  
“accelerometer\_3”: {  
“x”: 0.118,  
“y”: 0.036,  
“z”: 0.959  
},  
“analog\_in\_10”: 3.9,  
“analog\_in\_11”: 5.1,  
“analog\_in\_8”: 3.99,  
“analog\_in\_9”: 40.2,  
“gyrometer\_5”: {  
“x”: -0.04,  
“y”: -1.39,  
“z”: -0.12  
}  
}

- Lora range is terrible with internal antenna. With external antenna it performs a lot better, but… the tracker is not seen by some gateways even within range. It is the same as previous firmware. My TTGO-beam works fine with those gateways. (in Dutch: in de polder geen verbinding met de Almere gateways…)
- After a restart the serial port tool reports: _Please Configurate parameters…_ and after a while it reports: **Configuration OK!**
- Sensor error: LPS22HD not found!, but the temp/baro is indeed removed and not sent. The sensor is still in the boot enviroment.
- Documentation with regards the AT-commands is not updated.

- TTN mapper is not updated and Cayenne is not updated with regards GPS on every LORA update (it is received by the gateway. Looks like the GPS LPP protocol is incorrect, corrupted.

anyway thank you RAK for the good work!

BR,

Jeroen

Only just noticed the move from '811 to Acsip radio module! 🤔 Hummmm…

Here are my 25 cents:

- ABP works. configuring goes sometimes good sometimes bad. I used the RAK serial port tool. Hterm caused many problems.
- AT responces are erratic, unpredictable, and un-understandable. I get OK and then “AT format error”.
- Configure transmit interval fails: Whats going wrong?

> at+set\_config=lora:send\_interval:300  
> AT format error.

I see references to TTN mapper. Is there any documentation on TTN mapper integration?

Hi Remko,

See my previous post regarding th e transmit interval: [https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/rak-7200-tracker/28940/16?u=jeroenkl](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/rak-7200-tracker/28940/16)

TTN mapper works when you enable the TTN mapper output in your console device.  
Fomi already reported the bug is ‘back’ in 3.1.0.5 as it was solved in 3.1.0.4

BR,

Jeroen

Results sofar are unsatisfying. I have not obtained any vald GPS location in either Cayenne of TTNMapper.  
Hardware might be nice but software is not good (understatement).

That’s not unusual with cheap electronics.

Have any of you tried to make your own firmware for this?

Hello guys. Can you test with this firmware [https://github.com/RAKWireless/Update-File/blob/master/RAK7200\_V3.1.0.7.T.bin](https://github.com/RAKWireless/Update-File/blob/master/RAK7200_V3.1.0.7.T.bin) . It has GPS output in serial console.  
We would appreciate it if you test and share the data.

Around 5 km driving, auto data sent - 60 seconds, GPS timeout 60 seconds.  
Test is made in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, EU.

Cayenne is also back

You are testing it with a RAK5205, not a 7200. Also you have a temp/hum sensors which isn’t available on a 7200

Today drove 2x 27km and no GPS hit received with 100sec GPS timeout.
