Dear Readers:
I have just bought a DC Boarduino and a MintyBoost. [Ordered Monday, here Wednesday ] Both are going to be mated into a single project. I believe that I will not need all the parts to connect the two (the USB port, 2.1mm Power Jack ).
My question is, "What parts can be eliminated if I am using the MintyBoost as the power supply for the DC Boarduino and how would they be connected?" I am on a slight time crunch, otherwise, I would figure this out. Also, I am assuming someone has done this already.
Thank you in advance,
Steam Automaton

Re: MintyBoost Boarduino
you can leave out the USB port, and just connecet the ground and 5V out to the ground and 5V pins of the boarduino

Dear adafruit:
Thank you, for the quick response in answering my question and product delivery.
I was planning to connect the Boarduino without the 5 volt regulator, but I will assume that the MintyBoost output is not that regulated.
