Power supply

Please refer to the relevant datasheet found on product page on botblox.io

(Show a picture of the setup with the bench power supply)

Ranged voltage supply is 5-60V but typically set to 10V when getting started.

You have two options when choosing how to power this board.

  1. Use J1 header on the Rugged SOM and supply the usual 5-60V

  2. Connect the 18pin J3 connector on the Rugged SOM to the 18pin J2 connector on the SwitchBlox Rugged. Power the SwitchBlox Rugged through J1 header on the SwitchBlox Rugged and this will also mean that the Rugged SOM will be powered.

    SwitchBlox Rugged is the top board. Rugged SOM is the bottom board.

<aside> 🚨 Please ensure that 18pin connector is aligned correctly. You may cause a short if they aren’t.

<aside> ⚠️ You cannot power the Rugged SOM through J7 JTAG interface, J2 UART interface or J6 USB-OTG interface.
