Electric Imp April - Breakout Development Board
What is the electric imp? In essence, the Imp provides an easy, integrated way to connect almost any hardware device both to other devices and to internet services. Its more than just a WiFi card, or even a WiFi module with processing built in - its an integrated platform that deals with the drudgery of connectivity, allowing you to concentrate on the application instead of the mechanics.April is a very simple breakout board with the minimum required components for an imp001 device.PowerPower can be supplied using a USB Mini-B cable from a USB Charger or a standard USB Port, though the data lines are not connected to anything. Optionally, a battery connector can be soldered to the battery pads P+ and P-. April can operate from any DC voltage from 3.3V to 17V, and tolerates voltages down to -12V. This is helpful for any application with removable batteries where they may be inserted backwards by the user. You may select between USB power and battery power by placing a shunt on the power
