core32 and 5V PSU

Design Concepts
1

Hello friends :slight_smile:

as I’m a geek at the same time as a music/sound producer, as soon as my protodeck was OK, I already decided to upgrade it to core32/mios32/firmware 2.0 :smiley:

so, I’d need informations about power supply.

I’m using actually the little tweak on my 2 core8: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_lc/midibox_ng_switching_psu.pdf

for your information, the modules architecture is described here

What should I have to do with my only one core32 ?

I have 2 questions:

  • I’ll use the usb only for data. What should I modify for that ? I guess I have to remove the J17 jumper

  • about the voltage regulator, should I remove it and use the J2 with my external power supply 5V ?

All infos would be appreciated :slight_smile:

yes

Yes, and you don’t need to remove the VR if it is already soldered on board.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

hello Thorsten,

and thanks for the very fast feedback.

I didn’t solder anything yet.

I began to translate the app for now.

only that.

I’ll upgrade it asap, but I’m involved in many things these days so…

oh, I planned to work on workashops about " making of diy controller for Ableton Live "

some people are very interested.

it would talk about all the process from the idea/need to ableton live (with all the different worlds crossed … like midi/osc, max for live and max/msp, Live API and javascript etc)

all the best
