// Ensure the input voltage to the Bxxx-1W is within 3.3V to 12V.
// The output of the Bxxx-1W will power the Arduino UNO.

void setup() {
  // No specific code is required for the Bxxx-1W itself,
  // as it is a hardware component. Ensure proper wiring:
  // - Input (+) to a 9V battery or power source
  // - Ground (G) to the Arduino GND pin
  // - Output (+) to the Arduino VIN pin
}

void loop() {
  // Your Arduino code goes here
  // Example: Blink an LED connected to pin 13
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn LED on
  delay(1000);            // Wait 1 second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);  // Turn LED off
  delay(1000);            // Wait 1 second
}

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Common Issues and Solutions

  1. No Output Voltage:

    • Cause: Incorrect wiring or insufficient input voltage.
