It works with standard 40‑pin HATs, Raspberry Pi Camera Modules, and USB OTG accessories. Input power is 5V through the microUSB port or GPIO pins 2\/4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a 5V power supply with at least 1A current capacity. The single microUSB port handles both power and USB OTG data; to use a USB peripheral while powering the board, employ a USB OTG Y‑cable. All GPIO pins operate at 3.3V logic and are not 5V‑tolerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
