analofbrotha Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Can I use a 12v 150ma dc psu for sid module? having trouble with power..Getting weird readings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Sounds like your PSU is on the low side. R u using a 6581 or 8580? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 check your output voltage from the regulator and see if it dipped below 12V, IIRC there is usually a drop across the regulator so 12VDC may not cut it if the regulator is stuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analofbrotha Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks for the info and help I'll check into that! Broke my br1 for my core :'(It was placed wrong (thus the problem with one of my psu's)Oh I can't wait to get this thing running... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I would just use a 15V one and let the regulators do the work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchocjr Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I would just use a 15V one and let the regulators do the workIn that case, where would one connect the 15V? At the Sid or at the Core? Or would this require some funky routing between the two modules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
