External Power Vim2

VIM2
1

I am trying to work out what to do to plug external power in to the Vim2 basic.

The plug behind the USB-C connector is covered with a little yellow sticker?

Am I able to power the Khadas off the GPIO header?

That would be an ideal solution for me.

Recommend the VIN header close to USB-C connector, more detail at Forum Search:

Yeah I am just confused because it has the little yellow clear sticker over it. Vim just has the four pins. Do I just peel off the yellow clear sticker?

Yep, you can just peel off the yellow sticker.

Have fun!

at 17.Dec mixotricha ask if it’s able to power the vim2 over the GPIO header, maybe 1 and 21, but I can’t find any answer ?

Is it possible ?

Thanks for answer

i think they are not very practical because tiny and need a hard to find connector

I would also like to power via the GPIO header - looking at the schematics it looks fine (so long as you use a regulated 5V supply), guess the only question is if the PCB tracks from the GPIO header are up to powering the whole board from it (if i supply power to all the 5v pins and 0v to all the gnd pins)? As i want to use quite a few in a cluster the GPIO header and the connector type is much easier for me. Be interested to know the answer to that please?
