Hardware Setup
WisBlock can integrate this module which makes it easy to build up an environmental temperature and humidity
data acquisition system.
For more information about the RAK1901, refer to the Datasheet.
The RAK1901 module gives information about:
Environment Temperature
Environment Humidity
RAK1901 module can be connected to any slot of WisBlock Base to communicate with the WisBlock Core. It will
work on SLOT A to D. Also, always secure the connection of the WisBlock module by using the compatible
screws.
