Here’s what I got, can we make it use just 3xAAA alkaline batteries or 3xAA using a RP2040NP Xiao?
From what I read, it isn’t safe to use both dry batteries or rechargeable LIPO on this with the USB-C

  1. XIAO RPN2040
    (search keyword “battery”)

  2. LED 12 Bit
    24 Gauge Wire connections

  3. battery spring 5 No. positive and negative contact pieces 11 * 13MM which I am building with a 3D printer

  4. 100w Type C USB

This is everything you should need to know. My thoughts are with the XIAO RPN2040 you just have to lockout the USBC permanently with glue maybe or a 3D printed plug to keep it from being tampered with or inaccessible and solder the battery terminal leads to it for it to work. It doesn’t clearly say that there is a risk for batteries by themselves.
