RAK19010 supports 3V3_S configurable supply lines to WisBlock modules like other WisBlock Base boards. This
is ideal for low-power applications. 3V3_S can be controlled by the MCU to disconnect the power sensors during
idle periods to save power. 3V3_S is controlled by the IO2 pin on the WisBlock Core board.
Set IO2=1, 3V3_S is on.
Set IO2=0, 3V3_S is off.
Hardware Setup
RAK19010 WisBlock Base Board with Power Slot
Installation Guide
RAK19010 WisBlock Base Board with Power Slot is the main board that allows you to attach a WisBlock Core,
power slot module, sensors, and IO modules through the standardized expansion connectors. These connectors
provide a data bus interconnection between the modules attached to the RAK19010 Base Board.
This guide shows the details related to the installation of modules into the RAK19010 board. The following section
discusses the general concepts to manipulate the WisBlock Connector in any WisBlock Module. The installation
and removal details of each type of WisBlock module: Core and Sensor are explained.
Attaching a WisBlock Connector
The WisBlock Connector is the interface between the RAK19010 board and the WisBlock Core, Sensor, and IO
modules. Before connecting these modules, read the following instructions:

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.
