Adjusting the output voltage ​

power_micro allows adjusting the output voltage from default 5.3 V to either 9 V or 12 V, by bridging appropriate pads on a solder jumper.

Before you begin ​

Make sure the device is not connected to a power source. Observe ESD precautions.

Locate the jumper. It can be found near the power input pads, on the backside of the board.

Configuration ​

Remove any pre-existing solder (solder wick or a desoldering pump should do a good job here).

In order to configure the module to output 9 V, bridge the pad indicated with the triangle with the middle pad, as shown.

In order to configure the module to output 12 V, bridge the middle pad with the pad closest to the board's edge, as shown.

Do not bridge all the pads together.

After you finish ​

Make sure to clean any remaining flux off the board before proceeding to use. Check the output voltage with multimeter to make sure it is correct before connecting any equipment to the module.
