Mounting and Handling:
To power an Arduino UNO with the 2S 7.4V LiPo battery, you can use a voltage regulator to step down the voltage to 5V. Below is an example circuit and code:
// Example code to blink an LED using Arduino UNO powered by a 2S 7.4V LiPo battery
const int ledPin = 13; // Pin connected to the onboard LED
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn the LED off
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}
