My company is trying to connect an external sensor to the RAK 5010 chip. After reading the schematics, I am unsure which ports on the mod board is used for connecting external sensors? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to RAK forum @BCBTrevor ,

You can have a look on these two pin headers (J10 and J12). It only has limited pins but you can have UART, I2C, ADC or standard IO functionality. You have to develop your own firmware to use these pins though.

Is there any example code for using the IO slots (J10, J11, J12)? that will be really useful.

Welcome to RAK forum @anjalilahoti ,

We do not have direct examples at the moment but possible options are:

  1. Arduino BSP using adafruit bootloader.
  2. RUI3 support on RAK5010.
  3. Using Zephy which already supports RAK5010.
