Recycling of a RAK10701 ?

Hi

Now that TTNMapper is nearly dead, how to recycle the RAK10701 for something useful ?
or did someone find out a way to build easily its own TTNMapper ? (not using TTNMapper code on github as it’s just a nightmare to build but perhaps something based on Home-Assistant ?).

Thanks

Hi @vincen ,

The RAK10701 can still be used as a Field Testing device. You can also update it to RAK10701-Plus or WisMesh Tap V1 (if you are into Meshtastic).

But if you are looking for a TTN mapper APP feels for personal use, maybe the easiest way is to use AI platform to generate a similar functionality (that is if running TTN mapper to your own server is a nightmare).

I did an experiment, connecting my field tester to TTN and have a webhook integration then connect it to Replit.

If am not sure if you can use it or only on my Replit account but you can check here - ttn-tester-config–carlerickrowan.replit.app

Hi @carlrowan

Thanks a lot for your message and looks like I should upgrade my RAK10701 to use the Plus firmware version.
Do you know if there is a way to flash it manually ? I can’t use Wistoolbox as it’s only avalaible as snap on Linux.

Hi @vincen ,

The update requires wistoolbox. The guide is here - RAK10701-Plus Field Tester for LoRaWAN Firmware Update

Other than PC, you also have the option to use mobile app version of WisToolbox.
