LCD, AMP, Bluetooth, and Battery

Post by pythoncontroller » Mon Feb 16, 2015 10:17 pm

Hello all,
Is it possible to use the LCD skin, the AMP skin, the Bluetooth module, and a battery to power the board and modules simultaneously? If it is possible, how would it be connected?
Thank you in advance for any help!

You should be able to.

The AMP skin would be mounted in X position and the LCD skin would be mounted in the Y position.

This photo shows the LCD screen mounted in the Y position: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5jjoodfarmb46 ... 8.jpg?dl=0

Looking at the schematic for the AMP board: http://micropython.org/resources/AMPv10-schematics.pdf the X1-X4 pins are not used and there is a UART on X1/X2 and X3/X4, so you should be able to connect the bluetooth that.

You can power the pyboard using VIN. I think that the buetooth module nees 5v, so you'll need a voltage regulator for that.
