Step 1 - Charge!
Use the included micro USB cable to plug databot™ into any standard 5v USB power supply (USB adapter is not included). This can be a computer, a wall charger for your phone or other device, or a phone battery bank as shown here.
The charging port is the one oriented to the back of the case – you will see a single, micro-usb port in the center of the board to the right of the on/off switch.
When turned on and plugged in, you will see a pulsing, red charge indicator light. If you do not see the red light, press the on/off switch. It will only display when turned on.
databot™ 2.0 will charge fully in about 60 minutes and last for 4-6 hours each charge. You can start using it right away with it plugged in and charging, so let’s get some data going!
