monitoring

Figure 6. Hardware configuration

1. Apply input voltage to the board.

• First solution is to use power directly from the FRDM-KL25Z by by connecting J12

jumper. Advantage of this configuration is that you need only one USB port, but this

solution may have limited performance (because of the current capability of the USB

port).

• Second possibility is to use power from charger USB input (J3). In this case, keep

J12 open. This solution is recommended for higher currents.
