Dock Description
Power Dock comes with 4 LEDs (battery indicators) to reflect the level
of charging. It is better to use less than 8” Micro USB cable to charge the
battery (More than 8” cable is not
recommended). I is convenient and fairly easy to use. The good news is that
you can turn the Power Dock into an Expansion Dock by simply removing
the battery. It is configured to feed Omega with a stable 3.3V supply.
Note
The Power Dock doesn’t come with a battery.
You’ll have to arrange for a 3.7V LiPo battery.
