Totem MiniLab
Using MiniLab
In this chapter all of the main features of the MiniLab are explained and a usage example
is provided for each of intended use-case. Features discussed here do not affect
TotemDuino, and work independently from it, so no matter what code or experiment
you’re working on at a given time, all of the LabBoard features are still available to use.
If used together with suggested Totem construction system, MiniLab is mounted in the
workbench style system, which allows easy access to all of available pins, as well as
breadboard work area.

Powering up
MiniLab comes with a 12 V, 1.5 Amp external power supply. Internally, supply voltage is
then regulated into several voltages needed to run various parts of the system. Each of
these can be used during measurements or experiments, as they do have easily accessible
pins that equipment can be connected to.
While MiniLab can easily use any of the available voltage for your experiments, digital
signals going to and from TotemDuino shouldn’t be higher than the currently selected
