I'm new to SparkFun and Artemis. And Arduino. Plan to use the Redboard on a robot, 12VDC main power, some sort of 5VDC stepdown for a Raspberry, also a powered USB hub. Was going to connect from the Raspberry to the Redboard, either directly or through the USB Hub.
I assume the Redboard can be powered either through USB , or the barrel connector. What if both are used? Is that an issue?
I assume the expected voltage via USB is 5VDC ? But more flexible via barrel connector?
I think ideally I would want to power via barrel connector, and just USB for communications from Raspberry to Redboard
thanks for any help/ideas/suggestions
