emonTH - Non-battery powered version?

Submitted by lev400 on Sun, 19/07/2015 - 00:40

Hi

I like the look of the emonTH but would rather have a version that is powered by USB and not batterys that will inevitably need changing.

Has anyone looked into this or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks

The emonTH circuit board does have provision for a rmini-usb socket (for power only) under the battery tray. So a minimal amount of work is required to 'convert' an emonTH from battery powered.

If you are not able to fit the mini-usb yourself it maybe worth asking the shop if they will do it for a small fee prior to dispatch. They are very helpful but they are also pretty busy but you never know until you ask!!

Or you can use 5 V to the terminal block (probably easier to fit than a mini-USB) or the FTDI programming header.
