Breadboard Dock for Omega2 and Omega2 Plus
Breadboard Dock for Omega2 and Omega2 Plus
The Breadboard Dock is the perfect solution for building breadboard circuits with the Omega. This Dock can be plugged into a breadboard, and the pins of the dock are mapped 1-to-1 as on the Omega.
The Breadboard Dock provides power to the Omega via a Micro-USB port that takes in 5V. This voltage is stepped down to the 3.3V required to power the Omega. All of the Omega’s pins are broken out via a breadboard header. You can use this Dock with your own circuits, custom embedded applications, or just for hacking!
The Micro-USB Port is used to supply power to the Dock, which in turn supplies power to the Omega. There is no USB-to-Serial Chip on the Dock. This means that you will not be able to connect to the Omega serially over the Micro-USB port. You can still connect to your Omega’s terminal with SSH, you can learn how to do that in this guide to connecting to the Omega.
