How is that supposed to work?!? There isn’t 5v there. Only 3.3v. Interesting idea though.

lol! Never mind, I see what he did. Verrrrrry sneaky. I wish they had just put 5v there in the first place though. How annoying.

Why should i step up from 5V to 3.3V, when the voltage regulator of the bluetooth module brings it down to 3.3V again?
Complete waste of energy.
But don’t worry, I’ll soon show you how to drive 5V based USB devices from the Z2.
