RVR and RVR+ USB and UART Power Information
Power Supply Overview
-
The 5V power from the USB and UART ports and the main power for RVR/RVR+ come from the same 7.4V battery.
-
There is an e-fuse on the expansion port that limits the output current to 2.1A.
-
The USB and UART share the same power supply, so the combined current draw from both is limited to 2.1A.
Using USB 5V for Power Only
-
You can use the USB port to supply 5V power without communication.
-
RVR and RVR+ do not negotiate power requirements with connected devices, so drawing power without communication is safe.
UART Voltage Levels
-
The UART RX/TX lines operate at 3.3V.
