  Hi, I am interested in adding a new push button (tactile switch) to the Puck.js. My idea:
  I would like to add a button. When the user presses this button, a action should be startet (e.g. a message should be send via bluetooth). Unfortunately I am not sure how I can solder it to the Puck.js. The most tactile switches have 4 "legs" to solder (e.g. https://bit.ly/2BTSErG).

  Do I have to solder the tactile switch directly to the Puck.js or is there a possibility to solder one end of a connector (e.g. an extension cable) to the Puck.js and the other end to the tactile switch? It would be perfect if the position of the switch is not fix.

  Where should I solder the switch (or maybe the connector) and which tactile switch do you recommend? Simply to the GPIO pin? And do I need a resistor or something like that to get it work?

  And can I really snip of two diagonal pins of the tactile switch?

  Great idea. It worked now using "AT+CBC\r" for comparison. Thank you. Then you get these values: [bcs, bcl, voltage]
  The second one (bcl) returns the battery charge level in percent. So it is exactly what I wanted. By the way bcs shows if the battery is charging. I guess that this is the most elegant way to get the battery level.

  The output is "CBC is AT+CBC", so it did not work unfortunately.

  Having said all that it looks like the BG96 may itself have a battery level monitor. I think if you send the AT command AT+CBC it'll give you a battery charge value.
  @Gordon I have tried to use the command this way:

  var at = require("AT").connect(Serial3);  
  at.debug();
  
  at.cmd("AT+CBC\r\n", 1000, function(d) {
    if (d===undefined) ; 
    console.log("DATA"+d);
  });
  

  Unfortunately it only returns undefined. Should I use another module or what might cause this error?

  @Kartman
  You wrote that you are updating the firmware using USB. Did you already try this for the RAK8212? And how do you do this? Are you using the Adaptor Board and QFlash?

  Now it is Version 6. I did not find a newer version.
