Warning
Before powering the RAK4200 Breakout Module, make sure you have installed the
included LoRa® Antenna. Not doing so might damage the board.
Connect your USB to UART converter to the pin header on the RAK4200 via a set of 4
dupont lines. Use Figure 2 for reference on wiring the device properly.

Powering up and interfacing with the board
Go to your Device Manager by pressing: W R and typing devmgmt.msc or
search in the Start Menu.
Look for Ports (COM & LPT) and Find the name USB-SERIAL CH340 and take note of
the COM Port Number as you will need it to connect with the board. You might have
another model number but the wording “USB-SERIAL” should be present in some form.
Note
Windows 10 should recognize the board and automatically install drivers, however if it is
missing in the COM & LP ports list you need to manually install the CH340 Drivers.
