## Description

With this handy **7 Pin Mini-DIN Connector** you can now jack into the hackport on your [iRobot](https://core-electronics.com.au/irobot-creater-2-programmable-robot.html) and control it with an [Arduino](https://core-electronics.com.au/#) or some other favorite microcontroller that has a 5V TTL UART! You can also power your project off of the internal Create 2's battery.[ Note that the battery voltage can be as high as ~21V so a buck converter such as this one could be good for getting the unregulated Vpwr from 20V down to a more reasonable 5V](https://core-electronics.com.au/ubec-dc-dc-step-down-buck-converter-5v-at-3a-output.html)
