Briefly: the difference between v1 (retired) [which I have] and v2:

From support: [The] “main difference is that the v1 board uses a JST connector and the v2 uses a barrel jack connector.”

Thanks,

Fred

I could “read the specs” but which flavor of “JST” is it? I have other boards that happen to use the 1mm “JST SH” form factor.
