Shadow Gamer reacted to mariushm in Arduino battery [SOLVED]
Oh man.. again.. let's make it simpler hopefully.
The Arduino Due can be powered in two different ways.
METHOD 1 : It can take power from a USB connector, where it expects to receive 5v. A chip on the board then produces 3.3v for the processor and everyone's happy.
METHOD 2 : It can take a wide range of voltage (between 6v and 20v) through the DC In jack and then a DC-DC converter circuit on the board creates the 5v voltage, and then a chip on the board produces 3.3v required by the processor.
So if you have independent batteries (like 4 AA batteries in series, or a 12v lead-acid car battery , or a 9v battery) or some power source that's higher than 5v like a AC-DC adapter that outputs 7.5v or 9v or 12v .. you want to use METHOD 2 to power your board.. that is: to connect your battery to the DC in jack on your Arduino
If you have one of those power banks, that power bank outputs 5v, so you can use a regular USB cable to create a connection between the power bank and the Arduino and then the Arduino would be powered according to METHOD 1.
You can also use generic phone chargers with that USB connector at the end, those will output 5v as well, so your Arduino would run according to METHOD 1 - it takes 5v from the usb connector and just works. You can also connect the arduino to a USB port on your computer and it will simply work.

Thank you, that is so much help! I know some of us newbies are a bit slow, but you know, gotta start somewhere. I didn't even know the Due had two separate power inputs.

Shadow Gamer reacted to LinusTech in Worst Tech mistake you have ever made?
I plugged a 4 pin floppy connector into a CD aux connector on a sound card when I was quite young. The blue smoke that made the sound card work escaped.

Shadow Gamer got a reaction from jimakos234 in MSI GTX 970 Low Performance
HELL YEAH! I changed the power setting to Maximum on Dirty Bomb, and I got a 250% performance increase! I'm going to try it on Battlefield 4 and Planetside 2 now. Before the reinstall I tried this and it didn't work.

They seem to be, Planetside 2 has seen a performance increase as well.

I'm sure Overclock.net has a classifieds, and I'm sure TekSyndicate has one as well. Forums are typically better because people on forums tend to be more careful about their things they're selling.

Shadow Gamer reacted in Calling All Video Editors!
I need to have a commercial made for my company. I will pay fair market value, if not well above market value. I need a commercial summarizing my company going over some of our cool things with B-Roll (I will supply) and an interview with me.

Shadow Gamer got a reaction from RetroSmoo in 2D Computer parts database
For an simple 2D animation I'm doing in After Effects, I need a database containing 2D, computer-drawn PC parts. In reality, I only need one CPU and one fan, but it would be great if other parts were included. I've searched the googles but I haven't found anything that suits my needs.
Thanks,

Shadow Gamer reacted to TheBostonTickler in Script Editing
FYI it is bad form to use an acronym without first or immediately explaining exactly what it stands for. So the intro might work better if you started with something like, "The Central Processing Unit, or C.P.U., is one of the most important..."
Hope that helped a little!
