I currently have a 12v Meanwell power supply that powers my F16v3 from v1 and v2. I also have a 12v to 5v converter off the Meanwell to power my Pii.
In certain sequences (I think when there is a lot of white lights) my F16v3 and/or Pii reboot or lose power, my show goes down for 30 sec then comes alive again.
I never notice dim lights or anything like that and I'm pretty sure I have a big enough PSU to run my lights at 30%.
I want to swap to external power for my F16V3 - using a wall transformer to ensure it has stable power - I also need to think about the Pii and I'd rather not have two transformers.
I can either use my 12v wall transformer for the F16v3 with the 12v to 5v converter for the Pii, or I guess I could run both the F16v3 and the Pii off a 5v wall transformer.
I have a few 12v and 5v wall transformers lying around but I can't seem to determine how many amps are required to run the F16v3 and the Pii. Is it different if I use 12v or 5v?
Thanks!
