Important Notes

To properly operate the Raindancer Beacon, it has to be connected to an adequate power supply via the POWER-IN field (12/24V DC is recommended). The USB port on the front casing is not suitable.
When a single power supply is used to power both, Raindancer Beacon and peripherals, the GND lines should be tied together.

Power down all systems (Raindancer Beacon, sensors/actuators) before connecting to the Raindancer Beacon via USB, internal components may irreparably take damage otherwise!
