From Grant (One of the MIT kids)

Clint,

I was just looking over your photo gallery; everything looks great, as usual. I did notice you seem to be running some power with Molex connectors, though it still looks like you're using the barrel connectors for the final connection to the boards. I just wanted to advise you that we do recommend the barrel connector. Unfortunately (and you may already be aware of this), the Molex connector on the board is actually backwards. You would have to populate the connector on the underside of the board or swap the yellow and red wires if you want to use it. But it looks like you're using the barrel anyway, so it should be perfectly fine.

At the end of the day we always recommend always checking that the power connection is of the correct voltage and polarity before hooking it up, since there's relatively little protection on the board.

Looks great!

Actually, the Molex connectors you're seeing are part of the adapter I created. I do use the barreled connectors.

I built 2 and tested both to verify that the voltage is correct before I tested on an actual board.

This connects to the power block.

A functional, yet not fully assembled power block.
