Breadboard Buddy Pro Uni
What is the Breadboard Buddy Pro Uni
First of from now on I will refer to the Breadboard Buddy Pro Uni as BBBPro Uni. The BBBPro Uni is a 5 in 1 breadboard tool. Ive been using my original Breadboard Buddy for years and the main addition is the new universal layout along with the 2 user leds.
The board can be broken down into five main parts.
- USB to UART
- Dual Power Supply, can supply 5v and 3.3v @ 200mA, with select-able rails! (Need more power… coming soon!)
- Lipo Charge/Power
- Reset Switch
- 2 User LEDs
How Can a Breadboard Buddy Pro Uni Help
As you can see this is a packed board. One of the best parts of this PCB is its actual layout/design. It slides right into your breadboard. Connects to the power rails and inner data rails and gives your breadboard design access to the USB to UART, Reset, Power and even the Lipo! (If needed)
There is no need to wire up a separate modules anymore. Everything is condensed into a nice small time saving package. The power rails can be either both 5v, both 3.3v or one 5v and one 3.3v. So you can have a choice of either or both. All powered from usb or lipo connector.
Some Setting/Jumpers on the board
Okay on the bottom of the board there are 2 solder jumpers.
You must select the Reset Button power. This is NOT PRE-SET. You can either have it pullup to 5v or 3.3v. Depending on the circuits you work most with. I suggest using 3.3v for both. Since a high value on a 5v system is approx. 2.4v anyway.
The LIPO 100mA or 500mA is pre-set to 100mA. To change to 500mA you must desolder the jumper and resolder the other side as in the above picture.
