The Orb is the source of power for the Hydra project.

It provides power to the Hydra from either a LiPoly battery, an external wall wart or from the USB bus.

It also provides serial communications to external systems via a USB UART.

This board was designed to provide power and communications abilities to the Hydra project.

It should be suitable for usage with all TI LaunchPads or BoosterXL boards that conform to the standard TI BoosterPackXL pinout convention.
