Pinout Description
The battery holder has a total of three pins, which are described below:
Pin 1: VCC (Positive Power Output)
------------------------------------
Pin Function: Provides the positive power output from the batteries.
Voltage: 6V (when using four 1.5V AA batteries)
Current Rating: Depends on the battery capacity and type
Connection: Connect to the positive power input of your IoT device or circuit.
Pin 2: GND (Negative Power Output)
-------------------------------------
Pin Function: Provides the negative power output from the batteries.
Voltage: 0V (Ground)
Current Rating: Depends on the battery capacity and type
Connection: Connect to the negative power input of your IoT device or circuit.
Pin 3: SW (On/Off Switch)
-----------------------------
Pin Function: Enables or disables the power output from the batteries.
Switch Type: SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switch
Switch State: When the switch is in the "ON" position, the power output is enabled. When the switch is in the "OFF" position, the power output is disabled.
Connection: No direct connection is required. The switch is an integral part of the battery holder and controls the power output.
Connection Structure
To connect the battery holder to your IoT device or circuit, follow these steps:
1. Insert the batteries: Place four 1.5V AA batteries into the holder, ensuring correct polarity.
2. Connect VCC (Pin 1) to the device's positive power input: Use a wire or connector to connect Pin 1 to the positive power input of your IoT device or circuit.
3. Connect GND (Pin 2) to the device's negative power input: Use a wire or connector to connect Pin 2 to the negative power input of your IoT device or circuit.
4. Switch the power on or off: Use the On/Off Switch (Pin 3) to enable or disable the power output from the batteries.
Important Notes
Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries to avoid damage to the holder or your IoT device.
Use the correct type and number of batteries as specified in the component's documentation.
Follow proper safety precautions when working with electrical components and batteries.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic Power Supply for an Arduino Project

In this example, we will use the 4 x 1.5V AA battery holder with cover and On/Off Switch to power an Arduino Uno board.

Hardware Requirements

4 x 1.5V AA batteries
 4 x 1.5V AA battery holder with cover and On/Off Switch
 Arduino Uno board
 Jumper wires

Software Requirements

Arduino IDE (version 1.8.x or higher)

Code
```c++
void setup() {
  // Initialize the power supply
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT); // Use digital pin 9 to connect to the battery holder's positive wire
  digitalWrite(9, HIGH); // Turn on the power supply
}

void loop() {
  // Your Arduino code here
}
```
Description

In this example, we use the Arduino Uno's digital pin 9 to connect to the positive wire of the battery holder. We set the pin as an output and write a high logic level to turn on the power supply. The Arduino board will now receive power from the batteries.

### Example 2: Powering a Raspberry Pi with a Python Script

In this example, we will use the 4 x 1.5V AA battery holder with cover and On/Off Switch to power a Raspberry Pi using a Python script.

Hardware Requirements

4 x 1.5V AA batteries
 4 x 1.5V AA battery holder with cover and On/Off Switch
 Raspberry Pi (any model)
 Jumper wires

Software Requirements

Raspbian OS (version 10 or higher)
 Python 3.x

Code
```python
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Define the pin connected to the battery holder's positive wire
power_pin = 17

# Set up the pin as an output
GPIO.setup(power_pin, GPIO.OUT)

while True:
    # Turn on the power supply
    GPIO.output(power_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
    print("Power supply turned on")
    time.sleep(5)
    
    # Turn off the power supply
    GPIO.output(power_pin, GPIO.LOW)
    print("Power supply turned off")
    time.sleep(5)
```
Description

In this example, we use the RPi.GPIO library to control the power supply. We set up the pin connected to the battery holder's positive wire as an output and use a simple script to turn the power supply on and off every 5 seconds.

Note: Make sure to adjust the pin numbers and GPIO mode according to your specific setup and requirements.
