Page 2: Hardware Setup
Documentation Center Figure 1: RAK19011 WisBlock Dual IO Base Board with Power Slot block diagram The MCU in the WisBlock Core module offers the I2C, UART, and SPI data buses to the sensor and IO modules. Through these buses, the MCU can control and retrieve data from the sensors. The RAK19011 WisBlock Dual IO Base Board with Power Slot board connects all these modules. - Page 3 Documentation Center Figure 3: Alignment of WisConnector 2. Fit the connector. Tilt one end of the connector (header) less than 20 degrees, while do not apply force during this process, gently place the other end in parallel. Figure 4: Fit the WisConnector’s header inside of the socket 3.
- Page 4 Documentation Center Figure 7: Avoid applying uneven forces 6. When the buckling process is completed, check that the header and socket are kept in parallel. Figure 8: Correct way to buckle the WisConnector’s header to the socket 7. After buckling, if the header and socket are not in a parallel state (not fully assembled in one place), press with even force on both sides of the long side to complete the correct buckling.
