Hi there,
I am trying to power a Rockblock-based project with a 3.7v 4400mAh lipo battery. My thought was to power the Rockblock from the battery using the provided lipo pins and use power from the 5v out to power an Arduino-compatible board. When the Rockblock is powered by the lipo pins, however, there is effectively no current from the 5v out pins. Because it's not an open source item, I can't just pull the Eagle file and see what's going on here. Have I misunderstood the function of the 5v out pins? The datasheet is a marketing document and the Developer's Guide is pretty thin. Thanks for any help.
