  Thanks Everyone! I'll look in to my options from there.

  Thanks Robin,

  I had the same info, I was just looking for more.

  The copper trace was about 3mm short of the pad when I took the header off, I thought I might catch it with solder but I underestimated my previous ineptitude... and didn't check.

  I had to remove the header.
  I then soldered the trace back down, it seems I had previously melted/burnt it out... don't ask.
  In the end I just soldered some jumper wires directly to 3v and gnd and it works fine.
  I would still like to know how I would go about attaching a lipo battery connector and where that could best be achieved.

  Hi Guys,

  I have pulled one of my puck.js out of the draw again recently and have tried to drive it with a 3.3v power source for prototyping. Not sure what I am going to do with it but I would prefer not to burn through my batteries while prototyping so I have soldered on some headers and tried driving it through GND and 3v pins but this board has had some abuse and I didn't know how to solder when I orginally got it and it seems I damaged the trace...

  Anyway, my question is can I use D24 and D23 for power connection?
  I recall that they were supposed to be for external battery connection but can't find any info about it.
  e.g. which one is GND?
