RAK3401/RAK13302 1W Booster Kit

  • Meshcore V1.14
    *Windows 11
  • It is continous?
    I bought 2 identical kits from the RAK store.
    I connected each 1 via USB and flashed the Meshcore Repeater V1.14. I then setup the repeater configuration and verified each board was accessable through the Meshcore app successfully. I then Connected each board via a 5V 2.5A external power source and setting the Jumper to ext power. 1 Board powers on and shows the red LED flashes quickly and can be accessed the 2nd board will not power on with the exact same setup. Do I have a bad RAK13302 on the one that will not power up? It does power up with USB alone and gives quick red LED flashes, USB + Battery(JST connector). It will not power up with just battery(JST Connector) alone.

Welcome to RAK forum @POINT92 ,

There can be issue on the the interface from the module 5V supply towards the baseboard. Can you please send the details (photos of setup, other testing done, etc.) on [email protected]?

Please not that if you use the baseboard battery, you have to switch the jumper to internal, else there will be no 5V.
