T208: will I be able to power the Jetson Nano using a 3-pin cable?

  Hi,

  The T208  UPS (https://geekworm.com/collections/nvidia/products/t208-18650-ups-max-5-1v-8a-output-power-management-expansion-board-for-nvidia-jetson-nano) looks awesome and I'm very much interested in buying one.

  However, I wanted to make sure: the default setup is that the power is supplied via a GPIO connector that requires for the T208 to work like a shield. In my robot, I don't have enough space to stack them, so the only option is to provide power to the Jeton Nano via a 3-pin cable.

  Is this supported / possible?

  Well, I guess it has to be possible, so the question is more: are there any reasons why I shouldn't use the T208 in that way?

   

  Thanks for your time!

  Maciej

  @li xia Huh, OK, thanks for the reply.

  So a followup question would be: is there a dedicated case that might fit both the Jetson Nano and the T208?

  Also, and sorry for being so chaotic: what if I use a 10-pin cable to connect them?
