Precautions...

Post by xoxota »

Are there any precautions I should take when plugging the Minty into my PC? Like, should it be turned off? I'm kind of an electornics newbie, but it seems to me that, if Minty is on, the USB power might find it's way to some sensitive components (like the STA013).

Or am I on BANNED?

You decide!

I guess I just figured it would run off the USB power (after all, USB is charging the battery, why not power the circuit at the same time?) Like I said, I'm not exactly an expert. Does that mean I have to have the 3V3 power hooked up as well? I've been trying to load the firmware (I've tried it both ways, with and without the battery). Just wondering...

Thanks for all your help, BTW.
