Datasheet
JST Battery Input
This is at the bottom of the board. You can take your
CPX anywhere and power it from an external battery.
This pin can take up 6V DC input, and has reverse-
polarity, over-current and thermal protections. The
circuitry inside will use either the battery input power or
USB power, safely switching from one to the other. If
both are connected, it will use whichever has the higher
voltage. Works great with a Lithium Polymer battery or
our 3xAAA battery packs with a JST connector on the
end. There is no built in battery charging (so that you
can use Alkaline
or
Lithium batteries safely)
Alligator/Croc Clip Pads
To make it super-easy to connect to the microcontroller, we have 14 connection pads. You can solder to them, use
alligator/croc clips, sew with conductive thread, even use small metal screws!
Of the 14 pads, you get a wide range of power pins, I2C,
UART, Analog In, Digital In/Out, PWM, and Analog Out.
Some of them can even sense the touch of your finger!
