RAK WisMesh Board ONE

The WisMesh Board ONE is a compact and extensible Meshtastic device, available as a baseboard for development or with an enclosure for portable, handheld use. Designed for versatility, it features exposed GPIOsGPIO (General Purpose Input/Output). An uncommitted digital signal pin on a device. for expansion and a WisBlock sensor slot for added functionality. With its low-power efficiency and flexible design, the Board ONE is ideal for customized projects or ready-to-use deployments in off-grid communication networks.
