<![CDATA[BTC 2.0 not powering the basic M5Stack]]>Hi,
I've just bought a base BTC 2.0, including the DHT12 sensor, but when I connect it to my M5Stack Basic (Black) version it does not power it, I have checked that there is 5V on the 5V pins on the M5Stack rear PCB.

Should it power the M5Stack Basic?

@gadjet sorry this was definitely an issue with the description. The btc ticker is not capable of charging the m5 stack.

I wouldn't mind but I bought two of them !!! Oh well back to my 3D printed stand and a big battery.

You can charge core just plugging usb cable to core, don't need BTC. BTC does not own any charging IC like IP5306.

My assumption from the product info (which they say was an error) stated that it was a charging base, it wouldn't need an IP5306 it just needed to put 5V onto the same 5V rail that comes from the USB socket on the side of the core.

The label on the connector says 5V but it's not the same 5V that comes from the USB on the core!!

Maybe the battery of Basic is dead. You need to charge it.
