Power to board? + R12

Post by gt390dk »

I have a 9V, ½A power supply, should this be enough to power the board? And where do i connect the power supply on the board? And in assembly manual a jumper is used for R12, but on picture there is a resistance connected (hard to see color), what should be used here?
Thanks, Jan

That power supply should be fine. In fact, a 9v battery would work as well.

I'll make a diagram of the connector...

The power supply connects through the molex connector. Look at the bottom of the board, with the writing facing right side up.

Look at the holes on the molex connector. the ground is at the upper right side of the molex connector- two pads joined together. +12v is at the upper left, the corresponding two pads joined together.

R12 is just a jumper- it's hard to see in the picture, but it's really there.

Thanks,
Brent
