AD2040AA Raspberry Pi Pico AA Battery Expansion Board
Product overview
The Raspberry Pi Pico AA Battery Expansion Board is an expansion board that allows the Raspberry Pi Pico to be powered by batteries.
The high-performance DC/DC converter built into Pico enables stable operation.
Taking advantage of Pico's advantages of size and light weight, it is ideal for portable IoT devices and for use in tight spaces where power supply via cable is difficult.
In addition to being equipped with a Grove terminal as an expansion element, it also has input/output sockets for IO pins, making it useful for prototyping using sensors and breadboards.
It also comes equipped with a power switch and reset switch, which are useful during experiments.
Introducing a useful board that makes Raspberry Pi Pico easier to use.
Product application examples
・Creating portable IoT devices using Pico
・Installing Pico devices in environments where it is difficult to secure power via cables
・Safe power source alternative for classrooms that require multiple power outlets
- A power supply that can be easily detached for small experiments
・Prototyping using Grove connectors and IO pin sockets
Product Features
・Just attach the board and Pico and you can power it with batteries!
By utilizing the high-performance DC-DC converter built into the Raspberry Pi Pico, you can power the Pico with batteries simply by plugging it in if it has a pin header.
Equipped with a reverse current prevention diode, data can be transferred via USB cable even when powered by batteries.
- Equipped with a power switch and reset switch that are convenient for experiments!
During experiments, frequent power on/off and restarts are inevitable.
Equipped with two types of switches, it allows for easy power control.
- Expandability is also improved with Grove terminals and IO pin sockets!
Prototyping is easy by attaching sensors to the Grove terminals on the board.
It also has input/output sockets for IO pins, which is useful for experiments on breadboards, etc.
Please be careful!
To use this product, you need general knowledge about electronics and electronic circuits.
You may need to solder pin headers to the Pico.
(*Raspberry Pi Pico unit, pin header, USB cable, and battery are not included.)
When using nickel-metal hydride batteries, be careful not to let the voltage fall below the input specifications.
