This is my first post here.
My apologies I'm newbie in eletronic questions

I saw in the manual in order to give an external power source to the master use a AT/ATX with 5Vcc.
My question is : can I use a Cell Phone Charger with this output : DC 5 and 890mA (Nokia phone charger) ?

Is mandatory use an AT/ATX supply or Can I use a charger ?
Thanks in advance

Hi

It will work just fine. As long as it is 5 VOlt and + goes to plus and - to minus.

Cheers Norbert

Thanks for your quick answer Nobert.
A Supply AT/ATX has 2A and the Cell Phone Charger 890mA. Both giving 5 volts.
Values ​​of amperage can do amn influence in order to user Phone Charger ?

Hi

The mastercard will only draw around 500 milli amps. I also use a small power sypply for my mastercard and it works just fine. If you run a lot of leds you will need a bigger sypply. Will have to check the opencockpits site for the spechson the card.

I see. I'll try check the specs. Thanks Norbert
