WisToolBox Mac Build Displays Blank for me

I am new to Rak and Iot development and i have been stumbling my way threw this.

But confused if i need to behaving access to a Wistoolbox.
working on a mac so uses the app store and downloaded from here,

After downloading. app boots like this. Is there normal?

Also Is there a first time developer walk thru?
Do i need to get a developer transmitter.
Does any one recommend what i should do to get set up to start development?

Welcome to RAK forum @ESM ,

It shouldn’t be like that. What is the macOS version you are using?

Can you try this one instead of the one directly from app store.

That worked and got me past the black screen. Thank you :smiley:

Though, Now Im am prompted to update when I click “update” it takes me back thru the update Loop.

Hello Andrew,

Reading through your first post and checking your screenshot (the background) it seems you are at the very beginning of your journey and the module you are interested in seems to be the RAK11200.

WisToolBox is only for setup of a device with RUI3 firmware and supports only

  • RAK11720 Apollo3 (with RUI3 BSP support)
  • RAK4631-R nRF52 (with RUI3 BSP support)
  • RAK3172 STM32WLE5 (with RUI3 BSP support)

Other WisBlock modules like

  • RAK11200 ESP32 (with Arduino BSP support)
  • RAK11310 RP2040 (with Arduino BSP support)
  • RAK4631 nRF52 (with Arduino BSP support)

are not supported by WisToolBox. RUI3 based firmware has integrated support for AT commands, which are used by WisToolBox. Core modules using the Arduino BSP support, do not have these AT commands and

WisToolBox does not help if you want to develop a custom firmware, I would propose you go through our Documentation Center and check the Quick Start Guide for the module you intend to use.

Difference between RUI3 and Arduino based BSP’s (comparison is between RAK4631-R and RAK4631, but basically valid for all modules):
