+
+
+-->
+
+## Prerequisite
+
+### What Do You Need?
+
+Before going through each and every step on using the RAK12006 WisBlock module, make sure to prepare the necessary items listed below:
+
+#### Hardware
+
+- [RAK12006 WisBlock PIR Module](https://store.rakwireless.com/products/wisblock-pir-module-rak12006?_pos=1&_sid=cb7fc7fa0&_ss=r)
+- Your choice of [WisBlock Base](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-base) 
+- Your choice of [WisBlock Core](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-core)
+- USB Cable
+- [Li-Ion/LiPo battery (optional)](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-accessory/products/battery-connector-cable)
+- [Solar charger (optional)](https://store.rakwireless.com/collections/wisblock-accessory/products/solar-panel-connector-cable)
+
+#### Software
+
+- Download and install [ArduinoIDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software).
+- To add the RAKwireless Core boards on your Arduino board, install the RAKwireless Arduino BSP. Follow the steps in the [Github repo](https://github.com/RAKWireless/RAKwireless-Arduino-BSP-Index).
+
+## Product Configuration
+
+### Hardware Setup
+
+The RAK12006 is a Pyroelectric Infrared Radial (PIR) module. It is designed to detect occupancy and motion from infrared radiated objects. The sensor uses AM312 from Senba Sensing Technology Co., Ltd.
+
+For more information about RAK12006, refer to the [Datasheet](../Datasheet/).

+
+#### Assembling and Disassembling of WisBlock Modules
+
+##### Assembling
+
+The RAK12006 module can be mounted on the IO slot of the WisBlock Base board, as shown in **Figure 2**. Also, always secure the connection of the WisBlock module by using compatible screws.
+
+<rk-img
+  src="/assets/images/wisblock/rak12006/quickstart/mounting-mechanism.png"
+  width="60%"
+  caption="RAK12006 mounting connection to WisBlock Base module"
+/>
+
+##### Disassembling
+
+The procedure in disassembling any type of WisBlock modules is the same. 
+
+1. First, remove the screws.  
+
+<rk-img
+  src="/assets/images/wisblock/rak12006/quickstart/removing_screw.png"
+  width="70%"
+  caption="Removing screws from the WisBlock module"
+/>
+
+2. Once the screws are removed, check the silkscreen of the module to find the correct location where force can be applied.

+  src="/assets/images/wisblock/rak12006/quickstart/detach_silkscreen.png"
+  width="70%"
+  caption="Detaching silkscreen on the WisBlock module"
+/>
+
+3. Apply force to the module at the position of the connector, as shown in **Figure 5**, to detach the module from the baseboard.

+<rk-img
+  src="/assets/images/wisblock/rak12006/quickstart/detach_module.png"
+  width="70%"
+  caption="Applying even forces on the proper location of a WisBlock module"
+/>
+
+::: tip 📝 NOTE
+If you will connect other modules to the remaining WisBlock Base slots, check on the [WisBlock Pin Mapper](https://docs.rakwireless.com/Knowledge-Hub/Pin-Mapper/) tool for possible conflicts. 
+:::
+
+
+After all this setup, you can now connect the battery (optional) and USB cable to start programming your WisBlock Core.
+
+### Software Configuration and Example
+
+#### Initial Test of the RAK12006 WisBlock Module
+
+If you already installed the [RAKwireless Arduino BSP](https://github.com/RAKWireless/RAKwireless-Arduino-BSP-Index), the WisBlock Core and example code should now be available on the Arduino IDE.
+
+1. You need to select first the WisBlock Core you have, as shown in **Figure 6** to **Figure 8**.

+
+2. Next, copy the following sample code into your Arduino IDE.

+     digitalWrite(LED_BLUE,HIGH);

+    else
+    {
+      digitalWrite(LED_GREEN,LOW);
+      digitalWrite(LED_BLUE,LOW);   // turn LED OF
+    }   
+    gLastStatus = gCurrentStatus;
+  }
+  else
+  {
+    delay(100);
+  }
+
+}
+
+```
+::: tip 📝 NOTE
+If you experience any error in compiling the example sketch, check the updated code for your WisBlock Core Module that can be found on the [RAK12006 WisBlock Example Code Repository](https://github.com/RAKWireless/WisBlock/tree/master/examples/common/IO/RAK12006_MotionDetection) and this sample code in Github will work on all WisBlock Core.
+:::
+
+3. Once the example code is open, you can now select the right serial port and upload the code, as shown in **Figure 9** and **Figure 10**.
+
+::: tip 📝 NOTE
+If you're using the RAK11200 as your WisBlock Core, the RAK11200 requires the **Boot0** pin to be configured properly first before uploading. If not done properly, uploading the source code to RAK11200 will fail. Check the full details on the [RAK11200 Quick Start Guide](https://docs.rakwireless.com/Product-Categories/WisBlock/RAK11200/Quickstart/#uploading-to-wisblock).

+/>
+
+4. When you successfully uploaded the example sketch, open the Serial Monitor of the Arduino IDE to see the sensor's reading logs, as shown in **Figure 11**, and you will also see the green LED and blue LED from the WisBlock Base lights up whenever it detects motion based on changes in infrared light in the environment. Therefore, your RAK12006 is properly communicating to the WisBlock core.
