+ <title>Using a Separate Pyro Battery with EasyMini</title>
+ <para>
+ As described above, using an external pyro battery involves
+ connecting the negative battery terminal to the flight
+ computer ground, connecting the positive battery terminal to
+ one of the igniter leads and connecting the other igniter
+ lead to the per-channel pyro circuit connection.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ To connect the negative pyro battery terminal to TeleMini
+ ground, connect it to the negative external battery
+ connection, top terminal 4.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Connecting the positive battery terminal to the pyro
+ charges must be done separate from EasyMini, by soldering
+ them together or using some other connector.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The other lead from each pyro charge is then inserted into
+ the appropriate per-pyro channel screw terminal (top
+ terminal 1 for the Main charge, bottom terminal 1 for the
+ Apogee charge).

+ ground.

+ <para>
+ TeleMega provides explicit support for an external pyro

+ (Bottom 2). Then hook the negative pyro battery terminal to ground

+ Because TeleMega has built-in support for a separate pyro
