Powering Fona and Arduino

Post by adamr1 »

Is there a way to power an arduino and fona from one power source, hopefully a rechargeable battery? The LiPo batteries in the store provide 3.7v, so it sounds like you can't power an arduino from that?

You do need at least 5v to run an Uno.

You could use any of these:

https://www.adafruit.com/products/1565 - 4,400 mAh power brick
https://www.adafruit.com/products/962 - 3,300 mAh power brick
https://www.adafruit.com/products/1903 - 500mA boost converter for any LiPo
