The RAK18001 Buzzer Module is currently being tested for integration with the External Notifications plugin. There is currently a known conflict with buzzer if the module is placed in Slot D, although other slots should work.
Further information on the RAK18001 can be found on the RAK Documentation Center.
The RAK13002 IO Module can be used to, among other things, add a user button to the RAK base boards (excluding the RAK19003 Mini base board). It features a number of different interface options:
- 2x I2C interfaces
- 2x UART interfaces
- 1x SPI interface
- Upto 6x GPIOs
- 2x ADC interfaces
- 3.3v Power rails
There is development activity in progress to get sensors such as this added to the Meshtastic Core.
Further information on the RAK13002 can be found on the RAK Documentation Center.
