Powering the midibox for the first time

I went to canadian tire and purchase a multi-volt AC adapter. You can switch it between 1.5V and 12V, and supply a maximum of 500mA.

I used my breadboard to test the AC adapter with the midibox core module, powering approximately 7V to the core at the VS and VD pins.

I tested the voltage across the VS and VD pins for each of the Jumpers that will power the DOU/AOUT/LCD, etc.

Everything measured at a flat 5V. Voila! it worked!

The next step it to test the LCD and the potentiometer to determine if I am getting midi signals.
