USB-C port
It is possible to power the Hapticlabs Satellite through the USB-C port even without communication to Hapticlabs Studio, e.g. by connecting it to a powerbank. In this case, you can still play backtracks that you previously saved to the Hapticlabs Satellite by using the touch sensor or the external triggers.
Depending on the actuators and used settings, the Satellite can draw up to 1.4 A from a USB connection (5 V) on full power. Choose a USB port that can supply enough power. Make sure to provide no more than 5 V on the USB port!
Battery
Next to the USB-C port, labeled with a battery symbol, there is a battery port. Here, you can connect a 3,7V LiPo Battery to power the satellite. While the satellite is connected to a power source through USB-C, the battery will be charged. Consider in your choice of battery that the satellite might draw up to 2 A.
Only use LiPo-Batteries with charge protection included. If a battery without charge protection is used, it can suffer permanent damage and become unusable.
Always make sure to connect the battery with the correct polarity!
When powering the Hapticlabs Satellite from a battery without any connection to Hapticlabs Studio, you can still playback tracks that you previously saved to the Hapticlabs Satellite by using the touch sensor or the external triggers.
Universal Port I/O
The satellite can be powered through the GND and 3.3 V contacts from a 3.3 V source. When powering the Hapticlabs Satellite through these contacts without any connection to Hapticlabs Studio, you can still play back tracks that you previously saved to the Hapticlabs Satellite.
Powering a 3.3 V device
The satellite can power low-power 3.3 V devices through the GND and 3.3 V contacts.
