Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Charging Circuit (Arduino)
In this example, we will use the B3 Pro Li-Po Battery Charger with an Arduino board to charge a Li-Po battery.
```c++
// Define the pins for the B3 Pro charger
#define Charger_VCC A0 // Input voltage pin
#define Charger_GND GND // Ground pin
#define Charger_CPLUS 2 // Battery positive terminal
#define Charger_CMINUS 3 // Battery negative terminal
void setup() {
  // Initialize the charger pins
  pinMode(Charger_VCC, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(Charger_GND, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(Charger_CPLUS, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(Charger_CMINUS, OUTPUT);
  
  // Set the input voltage to 5V
  analogWrite(Charger_VCC, 255);
  
  // Connect the battery to the charger
  digitalWrite(Charger_CPLUS, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(Charger_CMINUS, LOW);
}
void loop() {
  // The charger will automatically start charging the battery
  // No additional code is required
}
```
### Example 2: Charging a Li-Po Battery with a MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico)
In this example, we will use the B3 Pro Li-Po Battery Charger with a Raspberry Pi Pico board to charge a Li-Po battery.
```python
import machine
# Define the pins for the B3 Pro charger
charger_vcc = machine.Pin(17, machine.Pin.OUT) # Input voltage pin
charger_gnd = machine.Pin(16, machine.Pin.OUT) # Ground pin
charger_cplus = machine.Pin(18, machine.Pin.OUT) # Battery positive terminal
charger_cminus = machine.Pin(19, machine.Pin.OUT) # Battery negative terminal
# Set the input voltage to 5V
charger_vcc.value(1)
# Connect the battery to the charger
charger_cplus.value(1)
charger_cminus.value(0)
# The charger will automatically start charging the battery
# No additional code is required
```
Note: In both examples, the input voltage to the charger should be provided from a suitable power source, such as a USB port or a wall adapter. The charger will automatically start charging the Li-Po battery when the input voltage is applied.
