Powering Notecarrier X and Swan

Hardware
1

Hello,

I’m using a Notecarrier X and a Swan, connected via the Qwiic port. During development, I was able to get everything working by connecting both devices to my PC using USB.

Now, I want to power both devices using a LiPo battery, which I’ve connected to the Notecarrier. How can I use the LiPo battery to supply power to both the Notecarrier X and the Swan?

Hi @k0178n and welcome to the Blues community!

You should power your Notecarrier X with the LiPo battery and then power your Swan from the Notecarrier (wire GND on Notecarrier to GND on Swan and VMAIN on Notecarrier to VIN on Swan).

Thanks,
Rob
