Your RAK3372 will not work on its own. It needs at least to be connected to a WisBlock Base together with an
antenna. You can then interface various WisBlock Modules via the available slots in the WisBlock Base. You can
also add a battery as a power source and optional solar charging. All hardware-related configurations for your
RAK3372 are discussed here.
This section covers:

RAK3372 to WisBlock Base
The RAK3372 will not work without a WisBlock Base board. The WisBlock Base provides a USB connection for
programming the RAK3372. It also provides a power source and various interfaces to RAK3372 so that it can be
connected to other
via different module slots.
RAKwireless offers many
compatible with WisBlock Core. It is highly recommended to
look at these WisBlock Base boards to see what matches your requirements in terms of available module slots,
power supply options, and overall size.
⚠
WARNING
RAK3372 WB_IO3 (WisBlock IO Pin 3) is connected to PB12 of the RAK3172 module. This pin is
internally connected to a 10k resistor as
mentioned on the pin definition table of the RAK3172 datasheet
. Other WisBlock modules that use this pin will have possible conflict.
To illustrate, RAK3372 can be connected to RAK19007 WisBlock Base, as shown in Figure 1.

, and you can easily use them via header pins. The labels are at the back,
as shown in Figure 2.
