I defined TX and RX of RAK4631 to 19 and 20. Then 5 and 4 for RAK11300.
I tried different baud rate and different Mode.
Any ideas?
Setiing I set for RAK11300 (RP2040)
TIA!
for the RAK4631 try:
enabled true
echo true
rxd 15
txd 16
timeout 1000
mode TEXTMSG
Hi @AndreK ,
Thanks for the reply.
Pins 15 and 16 are used for GPS. If I do this, Serial will override the GPS on those UART pins?
correct. RAK4631 serial is TXD0/RXD0 (20 and 19) or TXD1/RXD1 (16 and 15), and the later will be occupied if you have a GPS attached.
If you own a RAK12500 GPS module, then the communication is over I2C and the RXD1/TXD1 is free. I’ve tested it in the past.
Thanks @lukipuki for confirming. This is based on the latest stable firmware right? Also, I still need to set the RX and TX in numbers 15 and 16 correct?
I will test later today. I’ll post update here 
This is really strange. It appears that there is no attempt to enable serial - even if it is already enabled on the config.

I am thinking to do two things:
- Use different firmware version
- Erase flash then upload fresh RAK4630 bootloader (in case there is corruption in flash)
Do you guys have other ideas @AndreK @lukipuki ?
I tested both UARTs of RAK4630 already.
As for RAK11300, I am willing to do any test and verification.
I have couple of RAK11300s and bare Raspberry Pi Pico + SX1276 here in my bench
I see the following line in the logs, the module seems enabled:
How are you testing it? I’ve used a USB to UART device (https://www.waveshare.com/cp2102-usb-uart-board-type-a.htm) that I connected to RAK and sent messages over the virtual USB serial port.
Thank you @lukipuki ,
I missed it.
I am also using a USB-Serial converter from Silicon labs.
This USB-Serial is working on RAK11200 (ESP32 based) but on RAK4631(nRF52) and RAK11300(rp2040), Serial is not working.

Hi, just checking in here as I have some RAK4631 based nodes that I have just added to my mesh (my other three nodes are TLORA). I am trying to set up a mesh for control and monitoring and to do this I have an application processor board connected to the serial port. This is what I have on the TLORAs and these are operating, I can send and receive messages (TEXT or PROTO).
Now I am adding in the RAK4631 nodes to my mesh and what to do the same thing. Just a side note, to solve a different issue (duplicate MAC addresses with MT kits from RAK Wireless) I have done a factory reset on both nodes. I have also flashed both to the latest version, 2.3.4.
The RAK4631 I initially set up as TEXTMSG mode so I can use a USB-TTL converter for initial testing, which I hooked up to the TX1/RX1 on the Wizblock.
This is the setup of RAK4631 as extracted via the USB/Serial connection with meshtastic --get serial (not the USB-TTL)
Connected to radio
serial:
enabled: true
rxd: 19
txd: 20
baud: BAUD_9600
mode: TEXTMSG
Then looking at the (PuTTY) terminal at the USB-TTL serial port
On boot I get
$PCAS06,01B
$PMTK514,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,02E
$PMTK60531
▒0$PCAS03,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,002
$PCAS06,01B
$PMTK514,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,02E
$PMTK605*31
Which
a) doesn’t happen on TLORA nodes on boot (they are silent)
b) I can’t find any reference to what this output might be or relate to. Although it looks very NMEA like.
c) doesn’t do anything further (until next reboot, with the same strings)
Both of my RAK4631 nodes do this same output on boot.
ultimately my goal is to run in PROTO mode as referred to above I have an application processor that connects to the serial port to do the running of the low level sensing and control.
Changing the serial port mode to PROTO doesn’t seem to make any difference, I still get the $ strings
Changing the rx/tx pins as suggested above (to 14/15) makes no difference.
I also tried disabling the gps (I don’t have one connected), with --set position.gps_mode false and --set position.gps_enable false.
Looking at the sch for the RAK/Wizblock and the rak4631 it looks like the TX/RX are hard connected to the UART2 (refer RAK4631 WisBlock LPWAN Module Datasheet | RAKwireless Documentation Center and RAK19007 WisBlock Base Board 2nd Gen Datasheet | RAKwireless Documentation Center) although this is labelled TX1 on the wizblock.
So I am a little stuck as to where to go next. I did probe the pin (7 on RAK4630 module, IO) but this didn’t give me any joy either, no output what so ever.
I contemplated choosing the IO1 and IO2 however I am not sure if these are used for different purpose and thus unavailable anyway.
Sorry this is long and wordy.
I’m actually just trying to get some RAK4631 nodes running myself. I’m having the same issue as you Steve.
I set RX pin to 15 and TX to 16 as stated in the RAK docs, but for the life of me I can’t get anything but the jibberish you describe back out of the UART2 (labeled RXD1 and TXD1 on the board) on boot.
I can successfully send strings to RXD1 (pin 15) and have them propagate over the mesh, but as I said above, nothing is output on TXD1 (pin 16). I can provide the node logs to show that it is receiving the message from the serial module and sending it to the mesh, along with receiving a packet from the mesh and logging the following:
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 982 [Router] Module ‘SerialModuleRadio’ wantsPacket=1
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 982 [Router] Module ‘SerialModuleRadio’ considered
Except nothing shows up at the UART. I know my test hardware is sound because I have this working on various ESP32 nodes. It’s just the RAK nodes.
Any luck anyone? Thanks in advance!
@Logan @CircuitSteve I encountered the same problem on the Rak4361 Core with Rak19007 base when I tried reading serial data from the UART header pins on the baseboard. The RX TX pair were routed to pins 15 and 16 as mentioned earlier (I don’t know where this info comes from). What I realized tho, is that these pins are being probed by the GPS probe function for a GPS device. I don’t know why only the waveshare pico GPS (the GPS module designed for the Raspberry Pi Pico) message is displayed.
I don’t have an answer on how to get these pins to get the serial data we’re interested in. My suspicion is that the usb-c line is connected to the UART we want and that’s the only way to get it. Can anyone tell me if I’m wrong?
So the data for where the pins are routed comes from the datasheet for the RAK4361 and RAK190007. Refer to my post earlier for the links (hopefully they are still valid).
Yes the GPS is being probed on startup, basically it is checking all the possible baud rates looking for a GPS before it gives up. Now the issue I have got with this is I have disabled the GPS with the parameters yet it still tries. Which in my book is a non conformance issue. If the GPS is disabled then DON’T look for it. I think the issue we are seeing is because of this, it is tying up the UART and not letting anything else use it. The other UART is not supported (or wasn’t) in MT.
I (personally) think that support for external devices on the serial port is outside the main tenet of Meshtastic (as a disaster radio/ hiking comms radio).
I have for the while given up on the meshtastic as it is quite likely not the best method of achieving the outcome I am after, especially having to manage two sets of firmware (MT is still in beta) and dedicating an entire processor as essentially a MODEM when my application could be easily housed and executed within the nRF processor. There is a lot of overhead that is wasted, at least for what I am trying to achieve. I need the power of Protobuf BUT this won’t port to an 8bit processor (I have it on a 16bit currently, which is also fine for my application).
I don’t think it has anything to do with the USB-C as this runs directly into the nRF4631. There is a second UART but this is not mapped to the pins and doesn’t seem to be software remappable. I haven’t looked too far into this as from the nRF4360 viewpoint, only the MT.
I know that was of no real help to you. Maybe more just encouragement, that the situation doesn’t seem to have changed. I have periodically upgraded my five radios to the latest MT firmware but not seen anything much about serial.
