Having fun, but also the odd issue, with the RAK #Meshtastic Starter Kit (RAK Wisblock and RAK4631 module). The hardware seems fine, but there's a few quirks - for example, when using the Android app, the phone's Bluetooth connection to the kit kept disappearing every few seconds. After some head scratching and Web searching, I found out that the trick is to let the Meshtastic app make the connection and don't pair/ connect first with the phone's BT app, as in the quick start guides.
