Inkplate 5v2 power-on bypass and V5 breakout pins

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Inkplate

Customer:

I recently acquired an Inkplate 5 for a LoRa network project. I have two questions:

  1. What do I need to solder or connect to make the Inkplate power on immediately when it receives power, bypassing the tactile button?

  2. Is there a version that includes the V5 (USB power rail) in the breakout pins?

Original message (Croatian)

Prije svega: hvala sto postojite. Istovremeno sam posramljen i zavidan cinjenicom da tek sada saznajem kako ste hrvatska firma.

Svaka vam cast.

Uzeo sam Inkplate 5 (Preko Mousera. Znam.) u prospektu koristenja za jedan projektic na nasoj lora mrezi. Ugodno sam iznenadjen kvalitetom i detaljima do kojih ste doveli taj projekt i ekosistem.

Da ne davim, samo dva pitanja:

  1. Sto moram sprziti/iscupati/zalemiti da bi se Inkplate palio cim dobije napajanje? (bypass taktilnog gumbica)

  2. Postoji li verzija koja ima i V5 (usb power rail) u breakout pinovima?

Puno Vam hvala unaprijed,

Soldered Support:

To make the Inkplate power on immediately, there is a jumper on the board that can be connected. On the board, VIN (5V on our boards) is located at the top of the board.

hvala na lijepim riječima :slight_smile: stvarno na puno znači, podijeliti ću ih s timom.

Evo odogvora,

da bi se Inkplate palio odmah, postoji ovaj jumper koji se može spojiti:

Na pločici se nalazi ovdje:

Gore na pločici postoji VIN koji je 5V na našim pločicama:

Nadam se da informacije pomažu :slight_smile:

I should have mentioned this is the v2. The layout is different. I have a photo attached. I’m aware I may have damaged the 3V3 pin.

[name removed], hvala puno na brzome odgovoru!
Izostavio sam napomenuti: V2! Raspored je drugaciji. Slika u prlogu, znam da je garancija otisla sa mojim zlostavljanjem 3V3 pin-a :slight_smile:

For the 5v2, the jumper location is here: [photo reference]. From your photo, it looks like you have something interesting connected - is that the LoRa module?

Original message (Croatian)

Nema na čemu na pomoći,

aha jasno, 5v2, evo gdje se nalazi:

Koliko vidim sa slike, to je ovo:

Vidim da je nešto zanimljivo spojeno, to je taj LORA modul ? :slight_smile:
