So, I have a question.  I am thinking of getting some of the Eyeboot Mini's for my USB hub, and I'd like to power them with my power supply.  Could I power them with something like this?  https://www.amazon.com/ChenYang-Express-5-5X2-5mm-Plugs-Gridseed/dp/B00S6GE7ZY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1535359771&sr=8-2&keywords=gridseed+power  My usb hub is too weak to power my Moonlander 2's otherwise.  I'm not sure if these could handle to power requirements.  I don't want to burn anything up.  Smiley

Those are designed for 12V PCIE so you would definitely fry the moonlanders if you tried to hook them up to that. Either way you can't, since thats a 12v DIN connector, and the only way to power Moonlanders is through the USB port.
