Hi Ricardo,

Please verify the Digipeater uploader for the RAK4631. When I tried to upload the firmware, it gets stuck and doesn't perform the upload. Then I erase the node again and upload the old firmware, and it works. I think the issue might be with the uploader.

Hi Ricardo,

I found the cause of the configuration issue with the RAK4631 Digipeater firmware dated 2026-08-16. The new firmware expects the cadActive field, but the Digipeater Web Configurator does not include it in the JSON sent to the board. As a result, the firmware rejects the configuration.

I added an “Enable CAD/DIFS” checkbox and included cadActive in the generated JSON. With this correction, the new firmware now accepts and saves the configuration successfully.

I was happy to modify the Web Configurator, and I have attached the corrected version for you to review and integrate.
