WisBlock Base and Core
WisBlock Kits require WisBlock Base and WisBlock Core to be useful for any IoT application. The sensor and IO modules included in the kit will not work without the base and core.
The table shows the base and core included in the kit.
| RAK Model | Function | Feature |
|---|---|---|
| RAK19001 | WisBlock Base | USB-C, 6 sensor slot, 2 IO slot, battery/solar connector |
| RAK19007 | WisBlock Base | USB-C, 4 sensor slot, 1 IO slot, battery/solar connector |
| RAK4631 | WisBlock Core | Based on nrf52840 (BLE) and SX1262 (LoRa), IPEX connector for antenna |
RAK4631 is compatible with Arduino IDE. You can add the module to the board manager by following either the Installation Guide in the Learn section or the RAK Arduino BSP GitHub Repo.
