This page outlines general use of the Engage Mandoputers
▶️ Powering On
The unit can be powered via Lipo battery or USB-C connection. If using a Lipo battery you must ensure the +/- polarities match the board. See below.
🔌 Lipo Battery
For Lipo batteries we strongly suggest the Adafruit 500 mAh battery. Some after market batteries could have the Positive/Negative wires in different positions which will fry the board. ALWAYS CHECK ORIENTATION MATCHES THE SYMBOLS ON THE BOARD!
Battery Charging
The main board supports battery charging. Connect the battery and then connect to USB C to a power bank (not a mains charger as it may provide too much power). A yellow LED will illuminate to signify the battery is charging. The light will go out once battery has charged.
