Product User’s Manual – SHIELD-LIPO

5. HARDWARE

This section shows the example of using SHIELD-LIPO with

Arduino UNO

/

CT-UNO

as the

main controller.

5.1 Way to Stack the shield on Arduino board

Figure below shows that the SHIELD-LiPo is stacked on the CT-UNO. Please ensure that the
pins alignment is correct.You can stack shields on top, or stack the Shield LiPo on top.

Please note that the Shield LiPo does not pass through the ICSP headers (the battery is in the
way) so if your stack shield uses ICSP for data transfer (like the Ethernet Shield), you'll need
to stack the Shield LiPo above it like shown in figure below.
