Quick Start

Hardware Features

Feature	Description
Extension Headers	5 groups in total, main channels for connecting peripheral boards
Terminal Block	TypeC PD output voltage, selectable output voltage up to 20V
LED Screen	Status display screen
Left Button	User-controllable button
Right Button	User-controllable button
Status Light	User-controllable LED light

Note

If users need to output voltage higher than 5V at the terminal block, please ensure that the power source supports USB TypeC PD protocol and provides other voltages. PD protocol supports 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V. Please select voltage through the creative box console and check the output status.

Pin Information

Pin	Description
Pin 0-19	20 signal pins in total, each pin can be controlled individually through API. 3.3V level, each pin provides maximum 40mA current.
5V	Each header group has one pin providing 5V drive voltage, maximum 3A current.
3.3V	Each header group has one pin providing 3.3V drive voltage, maximum 1A current.
GND	Each header group has one ground pin
Green Terminal Block	If using TypeC PD protocol supported voltage, you can select to output 5V/9V/12V/15V/20V at this terminal block, maximum 100W power.
Other Functions	"led" represents the green status light on the creative box, "left" represents the left button, "right" represents the right button. You can control the status light, left button and right button when using the API.

Each header group has seven pins. The first three pins can provide 5V or 3.3V power, and the remaining four pins provide data communication. Please pay attention to the pin connection numbers when using and operating.

Note

Pin information is also printed on both sides of the creative box case, but due to space limitations, only the first four pins of each header group are shown. Users can infer the subsequent pin numbers from this.

LED Screen Information

Row	Description
1	In connection mode, this field displays the name of the connected router; in hotspot mode, it displays the name of the hotspot router.
2	IP address, you can enter this IP address in the browser to access the creative box console.
3	Current time information.
4	Terminal block output voltage value.

Platform Console

When a mobile phone or computer is connected to the same network as the platform, users can access the platform console through a browser, then load or access various peripheral applications.

Please enter your platform's corresponding IP address in the browser's address bar. The IP address will be displayed on the LED screen.

Click the Manage Applications button to load or delete frontend applications. Click Configure Platform to modify the platform's configuration information.

Manage Applications	Configure Platform
Select the application category and specific application to load the application to the console.	Through the configure platform page, you can modify router connection settings, change terminal block output voltage, synchronize time with browser, update platform system, or remotely restart the platform.
