Hello,

I am wondering if there are somebody who tried to have the support RAK Wismesh Tag device (https://store.rakwireless.com/products/wismesh-tag-meshtastic-gps-lora-tracker-ip66) with RNode.

Thanks!

Thanks,

By "flashing with Columba RAK4631", you hint that I have to flash using Bluetooth ?

On a side note, I have been looking around and I haven't found any support for Wismesh Tag.

I will probably try in the upcoming days and report back.

Hello,

I tested:

```
rnodeconf --autoinstall
```

Here's the log:

```
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               Installer Ready

Ok, that should be all the information we need. Please confirm the following
summary before proceeding. In the next step, the device will be flashed and
provisioned, so make sure that you are satisfied with your choices.

Serial port     : /dev/ttyACM0
Device type     : RAK4631 779 - 928 MHz
Platform        : NRF52
Device MCU      : Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840
Firmware file   : rnode_firmware_rak4631.zip

It got stuck at `[18:49:19] Could not download EEPROM from device. Is a valid firmware installed?`, do you know what I could do to fix this and get a successful install ?

nice! does gps actually work? I haven't tried Reticulum with an Rnode device yet, I'm curious how close we are to feature parity with Meshtastic/Meshcore.
