It appears that the Scoop is not compatible with a Notecarrier F. Is there an alternate connection diagram available?

Thank you

Hi @TJK,

From the [board errata section of the Scoop datasheet](https://dev.blues.io/datasheets/scoop-datasheet/#board-errata), the issue with Notecarrier F is only a problem when the Scoop’s LIC is fully discharged AND and a charge voltage \>5 V is then applied to the `CHG` input. If this scenario is possible for you, the best workaround is to feed the Scoop’s `CHG` input from a regulated 5 V source (stay at or below 5 V) rather than a higher-voltage supply or a raw solar panel.

Thanks,  
Rob
