Power Supply

The required voltage depends on your specific extension board. Before connecting power:

  1. Identify your extension board model.

  2. Visit the Expansion Boards documentation page.

  3. Locate the VDD_MAIN connector specification for your board.

  4. Use a power supply within the supported voltage range.

Power is supplied by connecting directly to the VDD_MAIN connector - either via the XT-type connector or by soldering power lines directly to the board.
