The RAK19001 WisBlock Base Board expands the WisBlock ecosystem with a layout designed for more complex modular applications. It provides 2 IO slots for large modules and 6 sensor slots for sensors, GNSS modules, and similar peripherals, enabling builds that require multiple interconnected modules.

All GPIO pins are exposed on solder pads, allowing straightforward integration of additional thirdparty modules. The board also includes a set of hardware features that support diverse power and userinteraction requirements, including a solar panel connector, rechargeable battery connector, separate connector for nonrechargeable batteries, a USB TypeC connector, a userdefinable button, and an On/Off switch located directly on the base board.
