== TeleMini v2.0 .TeleMini v2.0 Board image::telemini-v2-top.jpg[width="5.5in"] TeleMini v2.0 is 0.8 inches by 1½ inches. It adds more on-board data logging memory, a built-in USB connector and screw terminals for the battery and power switch. The larger board fits in a 24mm coupler. There's also a battery connector for a LiPo battery if you want to use one of those. === TeleMini v2.0 Screw Terminals TeleMini v2.0 has two sets of four screw terminals on the end of the board opposite the telemetry antenna. Using the picture above, the top four have connections for the main pyro circuit and an external battery and the bottom four have connections for the apogee pyro circuit and the power switch. Counting from the left, the connections are as follows: .TeleMini v2.0 Screw Terminals [options="header",grid="all",cols="2,3,10"] |==== |Terminal #|Terminal Name|Description |Top 1 |Main - |Main pyro channel connection to pyro circuit |Top 2 |Main + |Main pyro channel common connection to battery + |Top 3 |Battery + |Positive external battery terminal |Top 4 |Battery - |Negative external battery terminal |Bottom 1 |Apogee - |Apogee pyro channel connection to pyro circuit |Bottom 2 |Apogee + |Apogee pyro channel common connection to battery + |Bottom 3 |Switch Output |Switch connection to flight computer |Bottom 4 |Switch Input |Switch connection to positive battery terminal |==== === Connecting A Battery To TeleMini v2.0 There are two possible battery connections on TeleMini v2.0. You can use either method; both feed through the power switch terminals. One battery connection is the standard Altus Metrum white JST plug. This mates with single-cell Lithium Polymer batteries sold by Altus Metrum. The other is a pair of screw terminals marked 'Battery +' and 'Battery -'. Connect a battery from 4 to 12 volts to these terminals, being careful to match polarity. === Charging Lithium Batteries Because TeleMini v2.0 allows for batteries other than the standard Altus Metrum Lithium Polymer cells, it cannot incorporate a battery charger circuit. Therefore, when using a Litium Polymer cell, you'll need an external charger. These are available from Altus Metrum, or from Spark Fun. === Using a Separate Pyro Battery with TeleMini v2.0 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. To connect the negative pyro battery terminal to TeleMini ground, connect it to the negative external battery connection, top terminal 4. Connecting the positive battery terminal to the pyro charges must be done separate from TeleMini v2.0, by soldering them together or using some other connector. 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). === Using an Active Switch with TeleMini v2.0 As explained above, an external active switch requires three connections, one to the positive battery terminal, one to the flight computer positive input and one to ground. Use the negative external battery connection, top terminal 4 for ground. The positive battery terminal is available on bottom terminal 4, the positive flight computer input is on the bottom terminal 3.
