Module Specification
Power Jack
DC barrel jack that powers the whole board from a 12V supply
Description
Barrel-jack power input for the board. Plug in a 12V supply and the module feeds the board's 12V rail through an electronic fuse, so motors, servos and other high-power modules get real current. An on-board current monitor reports how much the board is drawing over I2C, and a status LED shows the rail state at a glance.
