How to Use Atribot: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The Atribot Power Supply Board is a sophisticated electronic component designed for advanced signal processing and data analysis within electronic circuits. Known for its high precision and reliability, the Atribot is an essential component in a wide range of applications, from robotics and automation to data acquisition systems and complex computational tasks.

• Robotics and automation control systems
• Data acquisition and signal processing units
• High-precision measurement equipment
• Power management in complex electronic systems
• Research and development projects requiring stable power supply

• Input Voltage Range: 6V to 12V DC
• Output Voltage: 5V DC regulated
• Maximum Output Current: 2A
• Power Ratings: 10W (max)
• Operating Temperature: -20°C to 85°C
• Dimensions: 75mm x 55mm x 25mm

1. Power Input: Connect a DC power source within the specified input voltage range to the VIN and GND pins.
2. Power Output: Connect the VOUT and GND pins to the power input of your target circuit or device.
3. Enable Pin: Apply a high signal (5V) to the EN pin to enable the power output. Leave unconnected or connect to ground to disable.
4. Fault Indicator: Connect the FLT pin to an LED or a digital input on a microcontroller to monitor the status of the power supply.

• Ensure that the input voltage does not exceed the maximum rating to prevent damage.
• Do not overload the power supply; ensure the total current draw is within the output current limit.
• Use proper heat dissipation techniques if operating near the maximum power rating.
• Avoid exposing the board to temperatures outside the specified operating range.
• Use decoupling capacitors close to the power inputs of sensitive components to minimize noise.

• No Output Voltage: Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range and the EN pin is activated.
• Overheating: Check if the current draw is within the limit and improve heat dissipation if necessary.
• Intermittent Operation: Verify connections and solder joints for any loose or cold solder points.

• If the FLT pin is active, check for short circuits or overcurrent conditions in your circuit.
• Use a multimeter to verify the input voltage and the presence of the output voltage.
• Ensure that the EN pin is receiving a high signal if the output is enabled.

Q: Can I use the Atribot Power Supply Board with an Arduino UNO? A: Yes, the board can be used to provide a stable 5V supply to an Arduino UNO or similar microcontroller boards.

Q: What should I do if the board is not outputting the correct voltage? A: Check the input voltage, ensure the EN pin is high, and that there are no faults indicated by the FLT pin.

Q: Is it possible to adjust the output voltage? A: The Atribot Power Supply Board provides a fixed 5V output. For a variable output, an additional voltage regulator would be required.

// Connect the Atribot Power Supply Board to the Arduino UNO as follows:
// Atribot VIN to external power supply (6-12V)
// Atribot GND to external power supply ground and Arduino GND
// Atribot VOUT to Arduino 5V pin
// Atribot EN to Arduino digital pin (e.g., pin 7) or directly to 5V if always enabled
// Atribot FLT to Arduino digital pin (e.g., pin 2) for fault monitoring

void setup() {
  pinMode(7, OUTPUT); // Set the EN pin as an output
  pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP); // Set the FLT pin as an input with internal pull-up

  digitalWrite(7, HIGH); // Enable the Atribot Power Supply Board
}

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(2) == LOW) {
    // Fault condition detected, handle accordingly
    // This could involve logging the error, attempting to reset the power supply, etc.
  }
  // Rest of the code for your application
}
