Hey guys,

Where can I add a power switch on this board.

 

Are You Providing Power via the 5-Volt Input-Pads, or via the USB-Connector ?

Via USB connector

 

Then your only choice is to un-Plug the USB-Connector,
unless You are adept at microscopic-surgery on the Circuit-Board,
and the Patient may not survive the Operation.

Or, You can carefully splice into the USB Cable,
then identify the 5-Volt Power-Wires,
and install an inline-Switch there.

Via USB connector

If you want the switch to be on the board, you should be able to identify the 5V lead out of back of the USB connector on the board, cut that connection, and wire a switch in series with the two cut ends.

 

I have the same board. I read that when charging the battery the load (powered by OUT+ and OUT-) must be disconnected.

I will also be using the USB to power the board, but I was wondering if it was possible to modify it so that when I connect the USB, the load (OUT+OUT-) is automatically disconnected.

Thanks
