(Solved) Color Click (Only 3.3V? Or (3.3V and 5V?))

[MaGiK]

Hello there
There is a typo in either the webpage of the color Click or its user manual

1- The last line of the color Click webpage (that is linked below) says that this click works only with 3.3 volts.

2- While the last line of the introduction section of its user manual (that is linked below) says that this Click can work with either 3.3 volts or 5 volts.

I'd really appreciate any feedback on this matter
Thank you so much for your time

Hi,

there is a typo in our user manual. Thank you for reporting this.

So, Color Click board is designed to use 3.3V power supply.

Hello Biljana Nedeljkovic
I've just completed a veeeeeeery long search in your Click boards list

Basically, I was visiting the webpage of each Click and its user manual looking for ones that mention different power supply values.
Fortunately, There are not any of those

I did find that some webpages of Click boards don't mention if that Click uses 3.3 V or 5 V power supply, but it was always mentioned in the user manual

Now, I have a question about the 3.3 V Click boards
1- You see, for the majority of them (And I believe this is the right way to do it), you guys mention that it uses 3.3 V, and the 5 V silkscreen label on the Click board is replaced by (NC) (No Connection), and this is great

2- However, for some of them, you guys mention that it uses 3.3 V, but the 5 V silkscreen label on the Click board is still present!
Could you please explain the second case? Are those typing mistakes? Or are you trying to tell us something?

By the way, this also happens in the reversed way as well, I mean for some Click boards that work only with 5 V, the 3.3 V silkscreen label is still present on the Click and not replaced by NC

Thank you so much for your time. It's very appreciated
Best Regards

Hi MaGiK,

thank you for being so dedicated to our forum and our products

If the Click board uses 3.3V, there should be the logo for 3.3V on it, and that means the Click board doesn't use 5V.
There should be NC instead of 5V on the silk in that case, but its possible it's only typo mistake.

Anyway, we always explicitly indicate to which voltage our Click boards work.

Kind regards,
Biljana
