Powering Active Tags only via USB

Hello, we've received recently some of your Active Tags for tracking an HMD (Focus 3 + custom mount we are currently working on). This device has an extra usb-c connector on the front. To save some weight we'd like to know if we can power supply the pcb only via an usb-micro to usb-c adapter without the need of extra connecting the lipo?

Hi Frankfurt,

I checked with our engineers and it sounds like you should be able to use the USB-C to Micro converter to power the tag.

If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to us directly.

Cheers,
Steven
