From the project

RAK4200 based LoRa node, with multiple expansion possibilities and designed to fit inside a generic 83x58x33mm waterproof enclosure box.

LoRa node powered by AA batteries ready to install inside an easy to find waterproof enclosure.

Key features: ------------- Powered by 2xAA (1.5v) batteries or a single (3.0v) battery. Waterproof if installed in an "easy to find worldwide" 83x58x33mm waterproof plastic enclosure (multiple choices: clear cover, wall mounting tabs, etc.). Class A battery powered or Class C external powered via screw terminal. RAK4200 = SX1276+STM32L071. So no additional cpu/microcontroller needed for a complete solution. Can be programmed using RAK Unified Interface (RUI) API, for rapid development or STM32…
