About the RAK4630-Dev-Board
RAK4630-Dev-Board is an open source PCB design by Tomas-Kuchta-FPV, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50 × 52 mm, with 18 components from 14 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the RAK4630. By type, the board carries 6 resistors, 5 connectors, 2 switches, 2 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 transistor.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
Simple Dev board for the RAK4630 module.
With GPIO breakout you can add awesome acessories. Like I2C enviromental sensors or I2C keyboards.
My main motivation is to make a cheap nRF52 based meshtastic node. As RAK4630 is the only cheap board we can buy with nRF52 we can buy locally.
