A RAK2287 Gateway module arrived today. Based on the new SX1302 chip the testing can commence. I will post finding as the tests are undertaken.

Very curious about this, as I’ve been on the fence about getting one of these to add an open network to the west hills in Portland!

Hi Tony, Coul you tell me if is just RAK2287 or with PCMI adaptor too ? I’ve asking you that becose my board is on the way too Thx and good luck with tests!

[image] cristianhumelnicu: Coul you tell me if is just RAK2287 or with PCMI adaptor too ? That’s an easy question. Its just a RAK2287, no PCMI adaptor.

Ok … then I should get one PCIe Pi Hat or something like this from someware …Any ideea?

Quite interested to see results of your test. Just a quick summary of the improvement, just looking at the datasheet, that you might be able to observe: Huge power consumption improvement: on this gateway RAK is claiming something like a factor 4 to 6 depending of the traffic (always good to see …

A RAK2287 Gateway module arrived today. Based on the new SX1302 chip the testing can commence. Did you get one with SPI or with the STM32L4 ? I’m curious if the latter runs a version of the Semtech Pico GW firmware, or if the MCU is just another crude USB/SPI bridge. Any actual findings on powe…

[image] cslorabox: Did you get one with SPI or with the STM32L4 ? The sample I have is a SPI version I understand there could be 8 versions of the RAK2287, There will be two models, one USB and the other SPI. Due to the RF filters outside the new SX1250 radio receiver chip, there could be …

Is there some special place where the findings are posted and that I fail to find. Or haven’t the test taken place yet?

I received a couple of RAK2287 cards two weeks ago. They seem to work ok, however the 3 onboard leds are always off. Tested with room lights off, making some node transmit, but none, they not flash with traffic (uplink or downlink). I saw a post (on the manufacturers website forum) of somebody exper…

If RAK follows the Semtech reference design then the LEDs are connected to GPIOs on the SX1302 rather than radio signals as in previous designs. please see LEDs in design not lighting up opened 08:19PM - 12 Jun 20 UTC (UTC) …
