{{% hint style="info" %}} Please Note: We have removed the labels from the pictures in the documentation due to inconsistencies with label orientation. The LED must be aligned above the USB socket when inserting or removing a development board from an expansion board/Pytrack/Pysense/Pyscan. {{% /hint %}}

Notes
WiFi
By default, upon booting up the WiPy2 will create a WiFi access point with the SSID wipy-wlan-XXXX, where XXXX is a random 4-digit number, and the password www.pycom.io.
Power
The Vin pin on the WiPy2 can be supplied with a voltage ranging from 3.5v to 5.5v. The 3.3v pin on the other hand is output only, and must not be used to feed power into the WiPy2, otherwise the on-board regulator will be damaged.
Deep Sleep
Due to a couple of issues with the WiPy2 design, the module draws more current than it should while in Deep Sleep. The DC-DC switching regulator always stays in high performance mode, which is used to provide the lowest possible output ripple when the module is in use. In this mode, it draws a quiescent current of 10mA. When the regulator is put into ECO mode the quiescent current drops to 10uA. Unfortunately, the pin used to control this mode is out of the RTC domain. This means that it is not usable during Deep Sleep. This results in the regulator remaining in PWM mode, keeping its quiescent current at 10mA. The flash chip also doesn't enter into power down mode as the CS pin floats during Deep Sleep. This causes the flash chip to consume around 2mA of current. To work around this issue a "deep sleep shield" is available that attaches to the module and allows power to be cut off from the device. The device can then be re-enabled either through a timer or via a pin interrupt. With the Deep Sleep Shield, the current consumption during deep sleep is between 7uA and 10uA depending on the wake sources configured.
