Is it possible to charge the Lipo battery in Think Plus Artemis?

Hello, everyone.

I just met Sparkfun, and it’s my first time to ask questions here.

I’m working on a project with Thing plus Artemis.

Now, it is working only when USB is connected,

It works well even if I connect Lipo battery to Lipo connector.

I want to include this Lipo battery into the case of this project, but I don’t know if it can be charged through USB of this board.

The product below seems to be charged.

However, I did not see that it can be charged toward Lipo on the page of Thing Plus Artemis.

If anyone knows about this, please give me some advice.

Are you asking if you can have the board powered via a LiPo and periodically recharge it using a USB cable? If so, then the answer is yes.

Please refer to page one of the schematic sheet: https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/6/f/0/5 … ematic.pdf

Thanks KansasBot

But I want Thing_plus to work differently when Lipo is connected. Is there any way for Thing_plus to know if Lipo is connected to Thing_plus?

The Artemis Thing Plus doesn’t have any way of knowing how it’s being powered, it just runs regardless of what the power source is.
