Product Description

RAK19011 is a WisBlock Dual IO Base Board with Power Slot that connects WisBlock Core, WisBlock Power, and WisBlock Modules. It has one slot for the WisBlock Core module, one for the WisBlock Power module, two IO slots, and six sensor slots (A to F) for WisBlock Modules. There are also two 2.54 mm pitch headers exposing all key input-output pins of the WisBlock Core, including UART, I2C, SPI, and many IO pins.

WisBlock Modules are connected to the RAK19011 WisBlock Dual IO Base Board with Power Slot 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 is used for fixing the modules, which makes it reliable even in a vibrating environment. Additionally, it has a user-defined button.
