Rak V2 replacing rak2287

[Ryanmess (Ryan Messinger)]

I was having issues with one of my Rak V2 miners when I went to check it out I damaged the ipex connecter. I ordered a new rak2287 and installed it but is not operating. Miner is online and producing challenges but not becoming or whitnessing. I assume the rak2287 needs some configuration to work properly. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello @Ryanmess, Welcome to RAKwireless forum.
RAK V2 miners has a secure element chip that cannot be replaced.

Isn’t that on the Pi hat or the main board not the lora module?

Converting a RPI4+RAK2245 to Helium miner

Setup: RPI4 + RAK2245 From what I undertand a Helium miner is a RAK Gateway with a special firmware. This implies that a RPI4+RAK2245 can be reporpused as a miner but I see that is no longer possible to do so as Helium is not providing a DIY code (maybe I’m wrong with the term). As I have several RAK gateways, is there any way to purchase the so called “code” or the firmware/image to convert them to miners? Thanks for the help.
