Battery Block Functional Diagram TOP

• USB Micro B - Provides power to the stack and the ability to recharge

the battery

• Power Switch - Removes all power from the stack other power

supplies may still power the stack

• Power LED - Illuminated when power is available on VSYS line; This

may illuminate if another block supplies power

• Power LED Jumper - If power consumption is an issue, cut the

jumper to disable LED

• Charge LED - LED is illuminated while charging; LED is off if no

charge power is present or charge is complete

• Expansion Header - The 70-pin Expansion header breaks out the

functionality of the Intel Edison. This header also passes signals and

power throughout the stack. These function much like an Arduino

Shield.

Using the Battery Block

The Battery Block is very simple to use. You can mount the Edison module

securely using our Hardware Pack. Note: It may be necessary to gently

remove the battery to allow clearance for screws. It’s only necessary to do

this if the Battery Block is the only Block in a stack.

Battery Block Installed

We have a nice Hardware Pack available that gives enough hardware to

secure three blocks and an Edison.
