Pin Definition

The RAK1905 9-Axis Sensor WisBlock Module comprises a standard WisBlock connector. The WisBlock connector allows the RAK1905 module to be mounted to a WisBlock Base board. The pin order of the connector and the pinout definition is shown in Figure 3.

NOTE

I2C related pins, INT, VDD33, and GND are connected to WisBlock Sensor connector.

If a 24-pin WisBlock Sensor connector is used, the IO used for the output pulse depends on what slot the module is plugged in. The following table shows the default IO used for different slots:

INT (Interrupt Pin)

IO1IO2IO3IO5IO4IO6
NOTE

If there are other sensor modules connected on the base other than RAK1905 and are using the configurable 3V3_S voltage source, you cannot use SLOT B since 3V3_S is controlled via WB_IO2 pin.
