Onion Omega Mini Dock

Brand	Unbranded
Manufacturer	Onion

The Onion Omega Mini Dock is a small form-factor dock that provides power to the Omega2 and allows you to plug in USB devices. It has a USB-to-serial chip just like the Expansion Dock, and is designed primarily for volume-constrained applications, as well as applications that do not require any expansions (networking, for example). The Mini Dock is ideal for USB-based or wireless networking projects.

Small Form-Factor

At about the same size as the Omega, the Mini Dock is meant for projects where space is limited and the Omega’s GPIOs aren’t needed. It’s ideal for USB-based or wireless networking projects!
Convenience

You can provide power to the Omega and Dock with any Micro USB cable. The Dock includes a regulator circuit that ensures the Omega always receives the stable 3.3V it needs to operate optimally.
Functionality

The Dock exposes some key Omega features to the user:Connect USB devices directly to your Omega
Press the Reset Button to reboot your Omega, hold it for 10 seconds to perform a factory restore
Turn your Omega on and off with the Power Switch
Ease of Use

Thanks to the on-board USB-to-Serial chip, you will always have access to the Omega’s serial terminal. No network connectivity required, just a solid USB connection. The serial terminal is especially handy when accessing the bootloader to reflash your Omega.
