Input voltage

The board can handle an input voltage up to 32v.

Initial Installation

The board that you will receive doesn’t have any firmware installed so when plugged into a computer, the board will show as an unidentified device.

Issues

Some boards shipped are missing the bootloader.
If your board has the Mellow logo on the back and when you place a firmware.bin file on the SD card and it doesn’t get converted, then yours is one of these boards.
Follow the guide for restoring the OEM bootloader.
