Description

The RAK19007 WisBlock Base Board represents a significant evolution in RAKwireless’s modular IoT platform, designed as the successor to the popular RAK5005-O. It provides the foundational power management, physical interfacing, and system control for stacking WisBlock Core, Radio, and Sensor modules. The board integrates a high-efficiency voltage regulator and an electronic load switch, allowing firmware to power down unused peripheral modules entirely, a critical feature for achieving ultra-low sleep currents in battery-operated sensor nodes.

Its redesigned mechanical layout resolves a key constraint of its predecessor by positioning the GNSS module slot clear of other sensor bays, enabling simultaneous use of positioning and environmental sensing. The inclusion of a modern USB Type-C port simplifies field connectivity for both power and serial communication, while the dedicated solar charging input facilitates autonomous operation in remote monitoring applications. This base board is engineered for developers and system integrators building robust, scalable wireless networks for industrial telemetry, asset tracking, and smart agriculture.

Key Features

  • Dual power input from USB Type-C (5V) and a single-cell Li-ion/Li-Po battery (3.7V).
  • Integrated solar charge controller with 5V input for sustainable energy harvesting.
  • Programmable electronic load switch enables per-module power gating for deep sleep optimization.
  • Backward-compatible pinout and mounting with the WisBlock RAK5005-O base board.
  • Optimized slot layout allows concurrent use of GNSS and sensor modules without physical interference.
  • Robust operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
  • Compact form factor (30mm x 60mm) ideal for space-constrained enclosures and portable devices.

Applications

  • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for environmental monitoring (air quality, soil moisture, temperature).
  • Industrial IoT (IIoT) data acquisition and telemetry systems with LoRaWAN or BLE backhaul.
  • Asset tracking and fleet management solutions combining GNSS positioning with sensor data.
  • Off-grid, solar-powered remote monitoring stations in agriculture and conservation.
  • Prototyping and deployment of modular, low-power IoT end nodes for smart city infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable solar charging on the RAK19007 base board?

Connect your 5V solar panel to the dedicated 'SOLAR IN' terminals on the board. The integrated charge controller will manage the Li-ion/Li-Po battery connected to the 'BAT IN' terminals. Ensure your firmware monitors battery voltage to prevent over-discharge. The system supports simultaneous USB and solar power, with solar taking priority for charging when available.

Can I control power to individual WisBlock modules with the RAK19007?

Yes, the board features an electronic load switch controllable via a dedicated GPIO pin from your WisBlock Core module (e.g., RAK4631). Your firmware can set this pin HIGH to power all connected modules or LOW to cut power entirely, drastically reducing the system's sleep current. This is essential for maximizing battery life in periodic sensing applications.

Is the RAK19007 pin-compatible with modules designed for the older RAK5005-O?

Yes, the RAK19007 maintains backward compatibility with the WisBlock connector pinout of the RAK5005-O. All existing WisBlock Core, Radio, and Sensor modules will function correctly. The primary physical difference is the relocated GNSS slot, which now avoids blocking adjacent sensor module positions, allowing for more flexible stack configurations.

What is the recommended procedure for programming a WisBlock stack built on the RAK19007?

Connect a USB Type-C cable from your computer to the board. The core module (e.g., RAK4631) will appear as a serial COM port. Use Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, or the nRF Connect SDK, selecting the appropriate board definition. Ensure the core module is powered via USB or a charged battery, and the software power switch is enabled in your code to activate the radio and sensor modules.
