Program and debug your Swan apps in VSCode, IAR, and STM32CubeIDE!

The STLINK-V3MINI is a stand-alone debugging and programming mini probe for STM32 microcontrollers, like the Swan! Use the JTAG/SWD interfaces to connect to the Swan via its onboard connector for simple programming or debugging.

The STLINK-V3MINI is a portable version, easy-to-use debugger/programmer that includes an STDC14 cable interface in the package.

A Micro-USB cable is required to utilize the STLINK-V3MINI. (not included)

 With a supported frequency range of 698 MHz to 3.8 GHz and a u.FL terminator, this Molex Flexible antenna is the quickest way to get your Cellular or Wi-FI Notecard online.

Lithium-ion polymer (also known as 'lipo') batteries are thin, light, and powerful. The output ranges from 4.2V when completely charged to 3.7V. This battery has a capacity of 5,000mAh for a total of about 19 Wh. The batteries come pre-attached with a 2-pin JST-PH connector and include the necessary protection circuitry.

The included protection circuitry keeps the battery voltage from going too high (over-charging) or low (over-use) which means that the battery will cut out when completely dead at 3.0V. It will also protect against output shorts.

Due to regulations in shipping batteries containing lithium, international shipments of this product are unavailable at this time.

Additional safety notes: Do not use a NiMH/NiCad/lead-acid charger. Do not abuse these batteries, do not short, bend, crush, or puncture. Never charge unattended or use unattended. Inspect batteries and surrounding circuitry constantly for any damage and loose wiring.

This item is a 100mm long 4-conductor cable with 1mm JST termination. It’s designed to connect Qwiic-enabled components together for I2C communication.

Each Qwiic Cable's wires have been color coded to Red (Power), Black (GND), Blue (SDA), and Yellow (SCL).

This battery holder from Keystone Electronics will help you power your project with 3 AA batteries (in series). The holder is terminated in PCB-friendly, through-hole PC pins and can be mounted to a custom PCB or any of our Notecarriers.

Notecarrier-A users please note: If you solder this AA holder onto the Notecarrier-A using the obvious location on the Notecarrier, placing batteries in the holder AND plugging it into USB at the same time will attempt to charge the batteries if their voltage goes lower than 4.2V. Our recommendation to battery-power a Notecarrier-A design is to attach the batteries to the V+ connector, which avoids conflict between the batteries and charger. Alternatively you can simply choose to not use USB and AA batteries simultaneously.

• Manufacturer - Keystone Electronics
• Datasheet
• Battery Type - Cylindrical
  
• Battery Cell Size - AA
• Mounting Type - PCB, Through Hole
• Termination Style - PC Pin

This Lithium battery from Tadiran is perfect for the high current pulses that the Notecard can experience when in a region that requires the use of GSM networks. We've tested a lot of batteries with Notecard-based application and, with the ability to handle sustained 2A pulses and high capacity retention over a number of years, Tadiran lithium batteries are second-to-none. Add one of these batteries to your project and rest easy that your Notecard will stay online for as long as you need.

This product is based on the Tadiran TLP-93111 and was modified for Blues to include a JST connector so that you can easily use this battery with any of our Notecarriers.

Due to regulations in shipping batteries containing lithium, international shipments of this product are unavailable at this time.

Technical Data:

• Capacity to 3.0V (@0.5A @1% duty cycle) - 19 Ah
• Nominal voltage - 3.6 V
• Maximum 1 second pulse to 3.0V - 3A
• Maximum pulse length @0.5A to 2.8V - 1000 sec
• Delay time to 3.0V @0.5A - No Delay
• Operating temperature range - -40ºC to +85ºC
• Capacity retention after 10 years - 96%

From the Tadiran datasheet:

The battery is designed specifically for applications requiring low background currents combined with high current pulses. The Pulses Plus battery combines the inherent benefits of bobbin type Lithium Thionyl Chloride cell with a novel hermetically sealed Hybrid Layer Capacitor (HLC). The addition of the HLC enhances the performance of the Lithium Thionyl Chloride cell to meet large pulse current requirements, thus providing greater performance and safety in comparison to jellyroll construction (spirally wound) type batteries.
