BooSTick - AA Voltage Booster
The BooSTick from Rover Development is a compact AA-battery-powered boost regulator that provides a regulated 5V or 3.3V output for breadboard and microcontroller projects. About the size of a single AA battery, it plugs directly into a breadboard or compatible Arduino board for portable, wire-free power.
A single AA cell is boosted to a regulated output at up to 200mA, sufficient for most microcontroller and sensor projects. The output voltage can be adjusted by tuning the feedback resistors. Comes fully assembled — just insert a battery and go.
