getting connected
You can directly stack the Beetle onto the Beetle Shield in this kit when
using. Some soldering will be needed for reinforcement.
The Beetle can also be wired up individually. Thread the cables through
holes according to IO port mapping. Some soldering will be needed for
connection.
Tip: Check carefully when stacking the Beetle and the Beetle Shield together,
turn to corresponding pins between two boards, then press from upon till no
room left.

precautions
• This product uses DC power supply with a working
voltage of 5V. 6V and over will damage the product
permanently.This product works reliably between
4.5V-5V; it may work under 3V-4.5V, but the reliability is
not guaranteed.
• For large load applications (such as motor control), you
need to connect the loaded VCC and GND directly with
power supply, and parallel with capacitor over 10uF, in
order to prevent restart or malfunction caused by large
load transient.
• In Arduino environment, Beetle has the same features
as Leonardo with multiple serial ports, Serial used for
USB virtual port; Serial1 used for RX/TX port.
