Eye of Newt error in wiring diagram

Post by grymoire »

I'm working on the Eye of Newt project, and I think the wiring diagram is incorrect for the LiPo Backpack.
The Eye of Newt wiring diagram https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/50731 shows the LiPo BAT connection is connected to the Teensy Vusb pin, and the 5V is connected to the Teensy Vin pin (the unmarked one near the USB connector.)

This differs from the instructions. This also differs from the wiring diagram for Uncanny Eyes - https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/28039, which shows the opposite wiring - (LiPo BAT+ to Teensy Vin, LiPo 5V to Teensy Vusb).

If so, it would be wonderful if this was corrected or at least a warning was added for others who attempt to build this.

After I diagnosed the problem and corrected the wiring, the LiPo backpack no longer works properly. It gets burning hot when connected to a battery.

The OLED display works without the LiPo backback, btw.
