MESA 7i96S power supply was created by cncproject2024
I have just ordered a mesa 7i96s and was wondeing what the best way to power it is. I've read that it requires 5V but I'm not sure what the current requirements are. Additionally does it have built in over current protection, so that it will only draw the current that it requires if I was to use say a 5V / 10A switching power supply?

A 1A power supply is fine. Normal current draw
is in the 300 to 500 mA range depending on
external connections. A High current supply
is more of a risk if you make a wiring mistake.
