Description

The RAK19003 WisBlock Mini Base Board is an industrial-grade foundation for building compact, modular IoT nodes. Its core function is to mechanically and electrically interface a WisBlock Core MCU (like the RAK4631) with up to two additional WisBlock I/O or sensor modules, enabling rapid system assembly without complex wiring. The board’s power management system intelligently handles multiple input sources, prioritizing and switching between USB, battery, and solar to maintain continuous operation in remote deployments.

Engineered for low-power applications, the base board provides controlled power domains to its connected modules, allowing the main MCU to put peripherals into deep sleep. The exposed solder contacts for I2C, UART, GPIO, and analog signals offer direct access for custom circuitry or debugging. With a USB Type-C debug port, user-definable LEDs, and a reset button, it delivers a complete development environment for prototyping LoRaWAN, BLE, or other wireless sensor networks before scaling to production.

Key Features

  • Ultra-compact form factor measuring just 30mm x 35mm, ideal for embedding into final product enclosures.
  • Advanced power path management supporting USB (5V), single-cell LiPo (3.7V), and 5V solar panel inputs with automatic source selection.
  • Dedicated 24-pin WisConnector slot for hosting the WisBlock Core MCU module and a second slot for additional I/O or sensor modules.
  • Comprehensive low-power control, enabling individual power gating to connected modules to minimize sleep current consumption.
  • Direct access to critical MCU interfaces via solder pads: I2C, UART (TX/RX), multiple GPIOs, and analog input channels.
  • Integrated development aids including a USB Type-C serial debug port, two user-programmable LEDs, and a physical reset button.
  • Rugged industrial component selection ensuring reliable operation across an extended temperature range from -35°C to +75°C.

Applications

  • Rapid prototyping of compact LoRaWAN or BLE sensor nodes for environmental monitoring.
  • Building portable, battery-powered data loggers for agriculture, asset tracking, or industrial telemetry.
  • Creating solar-powered remote sensing stations for off-grid IoT deployments.
  • Developing modular proof-of-concept devices that can seamlessly transition to mass production.
  • Serving as a compact carrier board for WisBlock Core modules in educational and maker projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What WisBlock Core modules are compatible with the RAK19003 base board?

The RAK19003 is designed to host WisBlock Core MCU modules like the RAK4631 (nRF52840 + SX1262), RAK3172 (STM32WLE5CC), or RAK11300 (RP2040 + SX1262). It uses the standard 24-pin WisConnector, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with all cores in the WisBlock ecosystem. Simply plug the core module into the primary slot to begin development.

How do I power the board using a solar panel, and what are the requirements?

Connect a 5V solar panel to the dedicated solar input pads. The board's internal power management circuit will charge a connected 3.7V LiPo battery and power the system when solar input is sufficient. For optimal performance, use a panel with an open-circuit voltage around 5-6V and ensure proper polarity. The system automatically prioritizes solar power over battery to extend operational life in field deployments.

Can I use this base board for final product deployment, or is it only for prototyping?

Yes, the RAK19003 is built with industrial-grade components and is suitable for transitioning from prototype to mass production. Its compact size, robust operating temperature range (-35°C to +75°C), and reliable WisConnector system allow it to be integrated into final enclosures. For volume production, RAKwireless provides manufacturing files and supports direct sourcing of the board and compatible modules.
