Hardware Setup
The RAK13009 is a QWIIC module, which is part of the RAKWireless WisBlock Interface series. This module has
two connectors: one for the WisBlock sensor and then for the standard QWIIC interface. For more information
about RAK13009, refer to the Datasheet.
The RAK13009 WisBlock QWIIC can be mounted on any Sensor slot of the WisBlock Base board, as shown in
Figure 1. Also, always secure the connection of the WisBlock module by using compatible screws.
