Not if you have externally powered devices.

Thanks

I'll bear that in mind next time. I bought powered because I'd been reading that the pi is much stabler with them.....

It can't hurt. But the question was whether or not it was necessary in order to run a Jalapeno on a Raspberry Pi, and then answer is that it's not.

I knew I saw the powered hub thing mentioned before. Taken from: http://minepeon.com/index.php/Main_Page#Images

Use a POWERED USB hub
The Raspberry Pis USB ports are limited to 140mA, thats barely enough for a keyboard and a mouse, it WILL NOT run your miner!

That's why you need to use a self-powered device like a Jalapeno.

Ah, I misunderstood. Was the point that the original Jalapeno's be powered by the USB hub, being that they are only 3 watts or so? I guess a computer would have no problem with that?
