TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: Unable to get 3.3V on Proto Board
« on: February 19, 2014, 11:30:50 AM »
The problem is that when USB is connected the Vbatt pin only gives 0.6 volts. So you cannot power any proto board device using VBATT since it will not have sufficient voltage to debug while USB is connected. It will only work when the the battery is connected ! You cannot put a 3.3V regulator on the Vcc because though it gives 5V on USB, on battery it only give battery voltage (3V) which is too low for the regulator.
I think this this is major flaw in the design of this product as is the unconnected 3.3V pin (legacy for what ?).
