The PDB XT60 does not have traditional pins but instead features solder pads and connectors. Below is a description of the key connection points:
Connection Point | Description |
---|---|
XT60 Connector | Input for the battery. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery here. |
Positive Solder Pads | Distributes the positive voltage to connected components. |
Negative Solder Pads | Distributes the ground (negative) connection to connected components. |
Auxiliary Pads | Additional solder pads for low-power components or accessories. |
The PDB XT60 can be used to power an Arduino UNO and other components in a project. Below is an example of how to connect the PDB to an Arduino UNO:
// Example code to blink an LED connected to an Arduino UNO powered by the PDB XT60
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
}
Issue | Solution |
