Yes. If you run it through the Ardustation power regulator, that will probably be dropped down to 4.2v, but that should still high enough to run the board without trouble. Or, since the power is already regulated, you can connect it directly to a V+ pin and bypass the onboard power regulator entirely.

Then that is exactly what I shall do. I will connect the 5v regulated power supply directly to the V+ pin on the ArduStation, and celebrate as I bask in the warming glow of blinking LEDs.

Hey Rich, this is what I would suggest doing. You can just get this barrel jack 9v battery adapter :) here is the link

That way all you need to power the ardustation is the 9v battery.

Hi

I have just finished the assembly of the Ardustation and have uploaded the script, does the screen have to be powered separately as mine does not have any display when powered up.

Just to confirm I have connected a 9 volt power supply to the power socket and have a green led light on the lower board and get a single beep.

Cheers

John

Hi Again

I have just been reading through earlier posts on the site and have adjusted the pots on the control board and my display has popped up, so all is good.

cheers

John
