Example 1: Using the Battery with an Arduino Board
In this example, we will connect the 11.1 V 360mAh Orange Lithium Polymer Battery to an Arduino Uno board and use it to power a simple LED circuit.
11.1 V 360mAh Orange Lithium Polymer Battery
Arduino Uno board
LED
1 k resistor
Breadboard and jumper wires
Code:
```c
const int ledPin = 13; // Choose a digital pin on the Arduino board
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on the LED
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off the LED
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}
```
Example 2: Using the Battery with a Raspberry Pi
In this example, we will connect the 11.1 V 360mAh Orange Lithium Polymer Battery to a Raspberry Pi board and use it to power a simple Python script that blinks an LED.
11.1 V 360mAh Orange Lithium Polymer Battery
Raspberry Pi board
LED
1 k resistor
Breadboard and jumper wires
Code:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT) # Choose a GPIO pin on the Raspberry Pi
while True:
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH) # Turn on the LED
time.sleep(1) # Wait for 1 second
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW) # Turn off the LED
time.sleep(1) # Wait for 1 second
```
Notes:
Make sure to use a suitable voltage regulator or DC-DC converter to step down the 11.1 V battery voltage to the required voltage for your device or circuit.
Always monitor the battery's state of charge and avoid over-discharging or over-charging, which can reduce its lifespan.
Follow proper safety guidelines when working with lithium-ion batteries.
