techno Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi, I'm wondering if I can run my MidiBox32 on power from another source than my computer. Maybe it's a silly question but it would be extremely handy if I could use say for instance the power socket of an iPhone charger. I don't want to try before asking about it since it might be totally stupid and the unit might die. BR //David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techno Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks, It says I can use a 7-10V and at least 500mA adapter. If the iPhone charger gives 5V, which I also get via the computer, and 1000mA it should be ok to use that then I guess. Am I right?

nILS Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes, you can use a regulated 5V supply as well. In that case simply supply the power to J2 and not J1 (the voltage J1 goes through a rectifier and the voltage regulators which need a higher input voltage than the desired output). Be acreful with the polarity and read the sections on J2 on the core module page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
