Hey there so I'm pretty certain my plan will work but I need some confirmation before I melt any more ICs.. :S
I'm planning to power my teeny+Prop shield with a rechargeable 3.7v 18650 boosted through Sparkfun's Power Cell board, which will boost to 5v. (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11231).
I also have some DIY female micro usb ports (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1829) which I want to rig up as a universal port.
So im wondering if these connections will work:
1. 5v and Ground from DIY usb port into charging pins on the Power Cell board.
2. D+ and D- from Diy usb port to teensy
3. Boosted 5v from Power Cell board to Teensy Vin or Vbat (I believe i can leave them connected since i'm not plugging usb into the teensy directly?)
4. Connect Ground Power Cell to Teensy
So with that set up should I be able to plug a usb cord into the diy usb port to send data to the teensy and also charge the battery?
Also do I need to connect the ground from the usb port to the teensy or is it okay the way I have it?
Thanks.
