Power

The ItsyBitsy M4 is powered by 400mAh battery via the Lipo Backpack. This allows the USB port from the ItsyBitsy M4 to charge the 400mAh battery. A slide switch is connected to the two switch pin on the Lipo Back. 

  • BAT from Lipo Backpack to BAT on ItsyBitsy M4
  • Ground from Lipo Backpack to GND on ItsyBitsy M4
  • 5V from Lipo Backpack to USB on ItsyBitsy M4

Slide Switch

A 2-pin slide switch is wired to the switch pins on the Trinket/ItsyBitsy Lipo Backpack. 

NeoPixel Rings

The two 44x triple-rings are daisy chained with three wired connections, data, voltage and ground. The right ring is connected to the ItsyBitsy M4.

  • V+ from NeoPixel Ring to Vhi on ItsyBitsy M4
  • G from NeoPixel Ring to G on ItsyBitsy M4
  • DIN from NeoPixel Ring to Pin #5 on ItsyBitsy M4
