Wireless Display - tyntop - 23-03-2015

Hi,
I have been looking at the wireless display part of the project and please excuse my nievety but I can not see how or where the power supply is connected to the board. Also what power supply voltage required ?

regards
tyntop.

Hello tyntop,

You're not being naive, there is no dedicated power connector on the board. The board requires +5V. I use an old Ipod charger.

Take a look at the schematic diagram here:

You can connect +5v to any spare header that connects to Vin of the voltage regulator IC1. GND can go to any GND connection. If you are planning on using a TFT display, the LCD header will be free and so this is a handy place to apply power. This is what I've done and it works fine.

Kind regards,

Zack_ster

You can use any 5V power supply with a mini usb connector and connect it directly to the Arduino mini usb port.

Also, any of the methods explained by Zack_ster will work.
