Intel Board Lipo-Connection

AAyma1 · ‎11-03-2016

So after reciving my intel aero board, i am having trouble tyring to connect the board to a lipo battery in order to get this board to intergrate with the drone. With the charger from the aero board, there is a 3 pin connecter that I am not sure what it is used for, but there is also a 3pin female adapter that fits with these pins to connect to the aero baord on the dji naza v2 power modicaficaiton unit. After connencting, I am still getting no power to the board as it is not turing on. Could someone let me know if I am making a mistake on how to connect the board to the battrey. I will also include picutres.

Hi AymanSaleh1232,

I just want to let you know that we are still working on the documentation that includes powering the Aero Platform from a Li-Po battery.

About the 3 pin connector on the power supply, it is a UART port, see this for additional information.

We hope to have the information available soon.

We appreciate your patience.

Best Regards,

I am a little confused when the directions say

Modify the supplied power cable by removing the barrel connector and connecting +VIN and GND per the pinout described in Table 1.

What is the barrel connector and what do I connect the +VIN and GND too?

Hi As2399,

Look at the photo:

The part inside the circle is the barrel connector that you have to removed, then you need to connect those cables (+Vin, Ground) to the pins of the table 1 of the document.

Have a nice day.
