INSPIRATION: THE CROWN
I don’t like wear things in my skin because it is very sensitive, so I decided to make my own DIY crown.

The Electronics
Our Board is Gemma V2
Half of the pads on the Gemma are related to power in and out: 3Vo , Vout and GND
- Vout - This is a voltage OUTPUT pin, it will be connected to either the USB power or the battery input, whichever has the higher voltage. This output does not connect to the regulator so you can draw as much current as your USB port / Battery can provide (in general, thats about 500mA)
- 3Vo - This is the 3.3V OUTPUT pad from the voltage regulator. It can provide up to 150mA at a steady 3.3V. Good for sensors or small LEDs or other 3V devices.
- GND is the common ground pin, used for logic and power. It is connected to the USB ground and the power regulator, etc. This is the pin you'll want to use for any and all ground connections
