Description
RAK19001 is a WisBlock Base board that connects WisBlock Core and WisBlock Modules. It provides the power supply and interconnection to the modules attached to it. It has one slot reserved for the WisBlock Core module, two IO slots, and six sensor slots A to F for WisBlock Modules. Also, there are two 2.54 mm pitch headers that expose all key input-output pins of the WisBlock Core that includes UART, I2C, SPI, and many IO Pins.
For convenience, there is a Type-C USB connector that is connected directly to WisBlock Core MCU’s USB port (if supported) or to a USB-UART converter depending on the WisBlock Core. The USB-C connection can be used for uploading firmware, serial communication, and charging A rechargeable battery. RAK19001 also includes a slide switch to select between rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
WisBlock Modules are connected to the RAK19001 WisBlock Base board via high-speed board-to-board connectors. They provide secure and reliable interconnection to ensure the signal integrity of each data bus. A set of screws are used for fixing the modules, which makes it reliable even in an environment with lots of vibrations.
Additionally, it has two user-definable LEDs, one power supply/charging indicator LED, and one user-defined button.
If you can't find a module that fits your IoT requirements, use the standard connectors of WisBlock to develop your own specific function module. WisBlock supports open-source hardware architecture and you can find tutorials showing how to create your own Awesome WisBlock module.
