Customer:
I got a Dasduino CORE and can’t find information on how to power it externally. I see it has a battery pin and battery connector, but I don’t know how to power it with external power, for example a 5V DC adapter with wired connections if needed.

Dobar dan, uzeo sam Dasduino CORE i nemogu pronaći informacije kako ga vanjski napajati. Vidim da ima battery pin i konektor za bateriju ali neznam kako bi ga mogao napajati s vanjskim napajanjem npr. neki 5V DC adapter prežičen ako je potrebno.

There are several options for powering Dasduino boards.
The first and easiest option is to connect the Dasduino board via USB-C connector to power (USB output from a computer, mobile phone charger with 5V output, or similar). It’s important that you have 5V and the current is at least 500mA. You also need to have a USB-C cable.
The second option is to power the Dasduino from a battery that you can connect to the JST connector. The battery should be Li-ion with a maximum voltage of 4.2V. The board has a built-in charger, and if you connect both USB and battery at the same time, the battery will charge. The battery can also be connected to the VBAT pin if you don’t have a JST connector but only wires.
The third option with which you can power the board is to bring 5V from some power supply to the VCC pin. If you power the board this way, the charger won’t work because it’s powered from USB. Based on your question, I would say this is the option you need. You need to connect the power supply to the GND and VCC pins and the board should work. Just be careful not to connect the power supply to the VCC pin and USB at the same time - use only one power source.

Za napajanje Dasduino pločica ima nekoliko opcija.
Prva opcija koja je najlakša je spojiti Dasduino pločicu putem USB-C konektora na napajanje (USB izlaz na računalu, Punjač za mobitel s 5V izlazom ili nešto slično). Važno je da imate 5V i da je struja barem preko 500mA. Također trebate imati USB-C kabl.
Druga opcija je napajanje Dasduina s baterije koju možete spojiti na JST konektor. Baterija treba biti Li-ion s maksimalnim naponom od 4.2V. Na pločici imate ugrađen i punjač te ako spojite USB i bateriju istovremeno baterija će se puniti. Baterija se može spojiti i na VBAT pin, ako nemate JST konektor nego samo žice.
Treća opcija s kojom možete napajati pločicu je da na VCC pin dovedete 5V s nekog napajanja. Ako pločicu napajate ovako onda vam punjač neće raditi jer se on napaja s USB-a. Prema pitanju rekao bi da je ovo opcija koja vam treba. Trebate spojiti napajanje na GND i VCC pin i pločica treba raditi. Prilikom ovoga treba samo paziti da se ne spaja napajanje na VCC pin i USB zajedno nego da se koristi samo jedno napajanje.
Nadam se da je jasnije, ako treba još nešto objasniti slobodno pitajte.
