Hi.

We recommend using rechargeable lipo batteries.

If you want to use an AA battery, you need to take into account that you must feed 5V on the VIN pin.

In any of the cases, you need to use a low dropout voltage regulator. Like it’s used in this project:

(Just ignore the solar panels section, take a look at the circuit after the battery)

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Sara
