I am quite confident the answer to my question is yes but I just want to verify.
Would it be possible to use a single power supply for two (or more) Shruthi’s? Providing of course that the supply is strong enough.
Looking at the schematics I would think it should be no problem since the negative pin of the supply is GND and we are not messing up any floating grounds or something like that.
just to see, I was able to power 4 shruthis from a 9v 1A supply - I wouldn’t be surprised if I could run 5 though. I have a 12v 100ma adapter that has no problem powering a single shruthi-1 and appears to be able to power 2 of them.
oh yes, I powered up 2 shruthis (with LCDs) on the 12v 100ma for only a moment just to see if it would actually do the trick, I’ve used that adapter with a single shruthi for extended periods without trouble but if I actually tried to seriously use it for 2 I would be watching things quite closely! hahaha
