Start with the exact model
Search RAK11161, RAK3212, HT-N5262M, Mesh Node T096, nRFLR1121, H4M Pro, ESP32-MDK, HALMET, HALPI2 or SH-ESP32. Radio modules, host boards and enclosed nodes are separate records. A firmware target or shared radio chip does not establish a common connector order.
Module and carrier numbering differ
RAK WisConnector tables use 40 numbered contacts plus F contacts, separate from module castellations. Elecrow module pin maps do not establish carrier header positions. Wio-SX1262-LF is a separate 28-contact module from the similarly named HF add-on. D1 mini Lite uses ESP8285; standard and Pro references are revision-specific ESP8266 boards.
Keep GPIO gaps visible
H4M Pro has original source schematics and identification photography; a complete physical GPIO map is still needed. The older H4M connector image in the MDK project is not asserted to apply to H4M Pro. Heltec T1 preliminary documentation and missing HT-N5262M datasheet links retain their source notes. Label photos and block diagrams are supporting references, not complete pinouts.
Study a practical example
Random Nerd Tutorials provides an ESP32/RFM95 LoRa wiring project. Follow the exact hardware, radio band, logic levels and software assignments used by that project; do not treat its wiring as a universal ESP32 map. The original tutorial and illustrations belong to their authors.
