What Do You Need?

Before going through the steps in the installation guide of the RAK3172 WisDuo LPWAN Module, make sure to

prepare the necessary items listed below:

Hardware

RAK3172 WisDuo LPWAN Module

Computer

USB to UART TTL adapter

Software

Download and install the Arduino IDE .

⚠

WARNING

If you are using Windows 10.

Do NOT install the Arduino IDE from the Microsoft App Store. Instead, install the original Arduino IDE from

the Arduino official website. The Arduino app from the Microsoft App Store has problems using third-party

Board Support Packages.

Add RAK3172 as a supported board in Arduino IDE by updating Board Manager URLs in Preferences settings

of Arduino IDE with the JSON URL below.

After that, you can then add RAKwireless RUI STM32 Boards via Arduino board manager.
