We've lost the power supply that came with my kit. I see that the miniDIN has three wires (orange&red and blue) I am connecting a power supply that we use in the lab but nothing happens.
First, I tried 5VDC and second 12VDC. But the AMP needle shows that the board is drawing more than 3 AMPS.
Am I doing the right thing here? Do I need more than 12VDC/3 AMPS. The current is looks really high.
Thanks, |

Apparently I cannot go by the color of the wires. Orange&Red = GND and Blue = 12VDC.
Still my board will not boot. There is an iluminated LED under the PCMCIA but my display is off. I hope that I have not fried the display.
Thanks, |

If you are testing the BitsyX, the schematic for the Bitsy personality board is located on Forum topic 408. J16 is the DC_IN the power connection. Check to see if your connections are correct according to the schematic.
If not BitsyX please specify.
You are right, 3AMP is quite high. If you connected it improperly you may have damaged the board. |

I think I reversed the pollarity because I followed the color of the wires since I did not have the schematic.
There is one LED on but the display is dead. Do you think that I burned the hardware? Thanks |
