NOTE
If you will connect other modules to the remaining WisBlock Base slots, check on the WisBlock Pin
Mapper tool for possible conflicts.
After all this setup, you can now connect the battery (optional) and USB cable to start programming your WisBlock
Core.
⚠ WARNING
Batteries can cause harm if not handled properly.
Only 3.7-4.2 V Rechargeable LiPo batteries are supported. It is highly recommended not to use other
types of batteries with the system unless you know what you are doing.
If a non-rechargeable battery is used, it has to be unplugged first before connecting the USB cable to
the USB port of the board to configure the device. Not doing so might damage the battery or cause a
fire.
Only 5 V solar panels are supported. Do not use 12 V solar panels. It will destroy the charging unit and
eventually other electronic parts.
Make sure the battery wires match the polarity on the RAK5005-O board. Not all batteries have the
same wiring.
