Prerequisites​
To use a RAK19012, you need at least a WisBlock Base Board with Power Slot to plug the module in. Furthermore, you need a WisBlock Core module to control the two user LEDs.
- Make sure to fix the module with the screws to ensure proper function.
- Only 3.7Â V-4.2Â V rechargeable Li-ion batteries are supported. Do not use other types of rechargeable batteries with the system.
- Only 5Â V solar panels (up to 6Â V) are supported. Do not use 12Â V solar panels; this will destroy the charging unit and eventually other electronic parts.
