Power each side of E682

[John (oldandslow)]

Can you use two 360 power supplies on one E682 board. Using one for each side.

I now have one power supply going into each side of the E682.

I want to put two power supplies and power the board with one from each and use the other power outputs for power injection.

Is this something that can be done? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

John

You can run two power supplys that's how many people run their pixel trees and inject power off the other terminals

We are running two of our E682s using a 5volt PS on one side of the board while using a 12volt PS on the other side.  The Sandevice E682 is very versatile.

The E682 easily will allow this configuration, just be VERY careful not to hook up 5 volt pixels to the 12 volt side!  Might let the magic blue smoke out of the pixels.

I will have an E682 in that configuration next year (was going to be this year, but funding (or lack thereof) got in the way).
