What’s in the box

When you pick up your Teebeutel-Kit you’ll receive:

Teebeutel

One Teebeutel, with firmware pre-installed. There may be a firmware update available, you’ll find upgrade instructions in the firmware section of this documentation.

LiPo Battery

The included 2000mAh 3.7V battery supplies power to your Teebeutel. You can attach the Battery with velcro tape. If you want to extend the battery life feel free to connect a bigger battery, but keep this in mind:

  • Battery connector: PH 2.0mm 2pin

  • Voltage: 3.7

  • Max. charging current: 500mA

Batteries may get damaged or combust when they are shorted or polarity is reversed! The Teebeutel uses a self-resetting fuse to protect the battery, it’ll trip at >750mA.

USB-Adapter

You’ll need a short networking cable to connect the Teebeutel to the USB adapter!

The USB-Adapter has an on-pcb USB-A connector, as of now, you need to glue the Spacer onto the PCB to get the correct thickness to plug it in.

3D-Printed USB-Spacer

A small 3D printed spacer for the USB-A connector. Detailed instructions will follow.

USB-C receptacle (optional)

If you opted-in for the USB-C upgrade you’ll find a USB-C receptacle in the box. To install it, you have to cut the USB-A plug off (with a Dremel for example) and solder the new receptacle on. Detailed installations will be provided. And we’re sure that you’ll find someone to help you at the GPN or your local hackerspace.

Lanyard

This lanyard is a bit special, as it has an RJ45 plug on its end. You can secure the Teebeutel with the plug and wear it around your neck.
