Using this expansion board is a breeze. First, make sure you have a WiPy 1.0. Simply insert the WiPy into the three female headers on the board. You can power it using either USB or a LiPo battery. When using a LiPo battery, the charger has two charging options: 100mA and 450mA - choose the one that suits your needs. Keep in mind that this board is not compatible with LoPy or WiPy 2.0. If you have a WiPy 2.0, click to get the appropriate version. As for maintenance, keep the board clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. The battery voltage can be monitored via the WiPy ADC, so keep an eye on it. Also, feel free to use the jumpers to enable or disable different features according to your project requirements. And don't forget, the WiPy itself is not part of this package.
