Introducing WisToolBox
WisToolBox is a free application that streamlines configuration of RAKwireless edge devices
Many IoT products carry the claim of being built for the end user without requiring deep technical knowledge. When speaking to customers and other practitioners, we realized that there were still pain points when it came to configuring hardware. WisToolBox replaces tedious and error-prone sequences of AT commands with a solution that requires no coding at all.
WisToolBox provides a suite of tools for RAK end devices. These tools can be used to configure, update, and program IoT hardware from your desktop or smartphone. This software reduces the barriers to entry for less experienced users while allowing professionals to manage their deployments more diligently.
All the tools you need
Configure Devices
The WisToolBox app is a graphical control panel from which you can connect with and configure RAK devices. The mobile and desktop versions provide the same features. The main difference being that the desktop version connects to devices using USB while the mobile version connects with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

Firmware Management
The most important feature is firmware management. New firmware versions can be automatically downloaded and custom firmware, such as firmware compiled using RUI3, can be uploaded to devices.

Create Custom Configurations and Groups of Settings
The application allows you to create custom configurations and groups of settings which can be saved as templates. These can be applied to other devices in the same class or any device in the RAKwireless ecosystem.

Built in Interactive Terminal
While devices can be configured from WisToolBox without the need for writing your own code or AT commands, it has an interactive terminal built in. This can be used to execute AT commands from the provided command library or commands typed in by the user.

Manage On-The-Go
The mobile version of the app opens the possibility for making changes while on-the-go or from wherever end devices may be deployed. All that is required to configure compatible devices is the app and a BLE connection. The app is available for both Android and iOS.

Start Using WisToolBox!
WisToolBox can be used to manage all RAK IoT end devices that are compatible with RUI3.
RAKwireless Unified Interface (RUI3) allows users to develop and compile custom firmware across the entire suite of RAK products. This firmware can be distributed to end devices using WisToolBox.
This interface provides an unprecedented amount of freedom to those customizing their IoT solutions. The RAK API, which underpins the RUI3, abstracts away the hardware layer.
All functions and features of our hardware modules are accounted for without the programmer needing to work directly with low-level hardware protocols.
The newest version of RUI3, allows developing firmware for the RAK4631 and the RAK3172.
