Powering the eDrumin externally
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2020 2:16 pm
Hi,
I have a question about how to power the eDrumin. I know that the eDrumin has a power input and I would like to use a battery to power the unit.
My questions are:
1. What voltage and ampere are needed? I think I read 9V and 0.5A but I rather would like to make sure. Using the wrong voltage over a extended period of time usually damages electronic devices, as far as I know, and I would like to keep the eDrumin intact . So what are the exact specs?
2. Powering the eDrumin externally was initially implemented if people use the MIDI port instead of USB, so the USB provides power for the eDrumin.
Is it possible to transfer only the MIDI data over USB and simultaniously power the eDrumin via a battery? Or will using a USB cable always power the eDrumin? Or worst case, does using a battery while using USB destroy the eDrumin?
Best regards,
Pim
