External Power suplly

10 Feb 2011

Hello !

I would like to use my mbed in an embedded project. So would like to use the vin port.

I connected my VIN pin n°2 on an 4,6 VDC and my GND.

But nothing happens...

Thank you,

GM

Just to see if onboard regulator is working try bigger Vin (like 5-6v). If it's working, try measure Vin with mbed conected to see it it's not below 4,5V.

hi !

Tank you for your request. I have already increase the input voltage up to 9 VDC. And nothing !

bye !

OK I am testing my external power supply but the issue is the same :

When I increase the VIN DC voltage over than 5 (5 - 6), the Vout is about 0.4 V.

How to use the external power supply ?

Sincerely ajax include php variable get

... And Vout is about 2 V DC

read that : '5.0v from USB available on VU (only available when USB is connected!)' Can i increase the power over 9 V DC. The datasheet say "4.5v - 14.0v In"
