Prerequisite

What Do You Need?

Before going through each and every step on using the RAK1901 WisBlock module, make sure to prepare the
necessary items listed below:

Hardware

RAK1901 WisBlock Temperature & Humidity Sensor

Your choice of 

WisBlock Base

Your choice of 

WisBlock Core

USB Cable

RAK19005 WisBlock Sensor Extension Cable (optional)
Li-Ion/LiPo battery (optional)
Solar charger (optional)

Software

Arduino

Download and install 

ArduinoIDE  

.

To add the RAKwireless Core boards on your Arduino Boards Manager, install the 

RAKwireless Arduino BSP

.

Product Configuration

Hardware Setup

WisBlock can integrate this module which makes it easy to build up an environmental temperature and humidity
data acquisition system.

For more information about the RAK1901, refer to the 

Datasheet

.

The RAK1901 module gives information about:

Environment Temperature
Environment Humidity

RAK1901 module can be connected to the sensor's slot of 

WisBlock Base  

to communicate with the WisBlock

Core, as shown in Figure 1. It will work on SLOT A to F. Also, always secure the connection of the WisBlock
module by using compatible screws.
