| + | == Sparing Power == |
| + | The best approach to spare the energy is to consume the LiPo power as the last moment (to keept as must as power as possible for the launch). |
| | | |
| + | There are several options for that: |
| + | # Keeping the Pico Powered via USB as much as possible (with a computer or a powerbank). |
| + | # Disabling the PowerBoost (and power down the complete projet): |
| + | #* '''WITHOUT''' Cansat Kit: Use a slide switch (or a jumper) to tie the '''PowerBoost EN''' to the GND |
| + | #* '''With''' Cansat Kit: The slide switch (or jumper) can be placed near of the border of the board. |
