RAKwireless IO Module RAK13002 WisBlock Adapter

Description

The RAK13002 IO Module is a dedicated expansion adapter designed to unlock the full GPIO potential of RAKwireless WisBlock Core modules. It routes all available digital and analog pins from the Core to four standardized 8-pin headers, enabling developers to integrate custom sensors, displays, actuators, and communication peripherals not covered by dedicated WisBlock sensor modules. This approach maintains the modular, plug-and-play philosophy of the WisBlock system while offering ultimate flexibility for bespoke IoT designs.

Engineered for reliable industrial and field deployment, the module includes robust 3.3V power rails to supply external components and features a backup power circuit with a super capacitor. This ensures the Real-Time Clock (RTC) on the Core module remains operational for up to a week during main power interruptions, which is critical for time-stamped data logging in remote monitoring applications. Its compact, board-to-board mounting design preserves the low-profile form factor essential for space-constrained embedded installations.
