Hi, we are working on a project where we want to use either the RAK4600 or 4631. Next to a LoRaWAN node, we want to use the module as a BLE beacon.
We have been looking into the capabilities of the pre-compiled binaries and have some questions that we hope you guys can answer.
-
I could not find a pre-compiled bin for the RAK4631, but I assume there is one. Where can I find this?
-
Are the features between the firmware of the 4600 and 4631 the same?
-
In the docs of the RAK4631 I can only find references to the use of the Arduino framework, is the RAK4631 also supported in RUI? If so, what do you recommend using and why?
-
We have played around with the BLE modes of the RAK4600 firmware. In the docs, it said it can be in 3 modes: peripheral, central, and beacon. There is nothing said about the use of the beacon mode, is there any more documentation on this?
-
If the pre-compiled bin does not have the BLE capabilities we’re looking for, would it be possible to program our own firmware using RUI that is similar to the pre-compiled bin, but extends its feautures? Does the RUI API support for instance BLE beacon mode?
Thank you in advance, we really appreciate your time,
Daan
