« Knowledge Base | Pilot, Bush Pilot and MIMIC Support | Functionality

Can Pilot be powered from an external power source?

Yes! The MIMIC has a USB-C port for charging that can be used to power the MIMIC and Pilot Modules during use. You can power it from a USB battery brick or plug directly into the wall. 

For powering the Pilot from an AC power source, we recommend using a USB wall adapter with 1.8-2.1A output. 

Still need help? Get in touch with our support team.
