I attached a drawing of how I would like the wiring to go so hopefully that makes clear what I’m asking. Power for the microphone breakout is taken from the Trinket 5 volt regulated power. When I power it via the USB port the switch turns on.Īny suggestions? Is it possible to power it this way? Will I need two power supplies? I’m pretty new to a lot of this stuff so any suggestions are welcomed. For large power-hungry strips, the Adafruit 5 volt, 4 amp or 10 amp supply could be required, although Trinket can only control approximately 100 pixels (to control more, consider using a larger Arduino with more memory). The light turns on but it doesn’t appear to be sending power to the mechanical switch.

What I am currently trying to do is power the trinket via the BAT+ pin but when I do this the trinket appears to not be getting enough power.

However, I’m trying to streamline the whole thing by powering it from one power supply. one for the trinket and one for the led strip. Tags: adafruit Clue, Audio FX Sound Board, halloween, Mini Boost, NeoKeys, PowerBoost.

I’m using a 5v trinket to run a PIR sensor and a light sensor which will then flip a mechanical switch to turn an led strip on and off. I am currently building a motion/light sensor project and I’m having a power issue.
