Title: powering the SB-FPGA Module 1.15y: Quad-Spartan 6 LX150 FPGA Board Post by: objectnotfound on June 26, 2013, 04:26:15 PM Bear with me here, I'm not much of a hardware guy. I ordered one of these, thinking it was powered via the USB dongle.
Alas, it is not so - how in the world am I supposed to power this fricken thing?

The ones that look like laptop charger... You can get it from ztex direct : http://shop.ztex.de/product_info.php?cPath=21_24&products_id=71 Or buy cheap made-in-china ones.

If you have a ATX power supply.contact forum member Cablez. He does a fine job making pci-e to ztex adapters. |
