Hi,
This may be kinda dumb, but I'd rather ask a dumb question before I break my Pico :)
On the Pico page (http://www.espruino.com/Pico) it talks about the voltage regulator accepting between 3.5-16v and the board being happy to run on a 3.7v Lithium cell - can I use the VBAT pin for either or if I wanted to supply a higher voltage should I be supplying it via some other pin?
So far I've been running a regulated buck converter set on 5V through a USB plug I've wired up "just in case", but I'm wondering if I can just chuck a less well regulated supply straight at VBAT?
Cheers,
Dave
