Apex Power supply amperage.

[Anthony.Luciano]

Does anyone know the correct amperage the 12v power supply for an apex is? My EB8 failed so I plugged in a 12v power supply I had laying around that is 300mA and my apex is going so slow, im guessing if it is low current but its just having trouble loading. it wont read the temperature correct and it keeps making the LEDs dim all the way off and then on every 10 minutes.

You'll need a minimum of 500 mA (actual output, I would make certain to test it over a load to ensure it's delivering). I tried using one that was rated at 500mA but wasnt supplying that much and it was corrupting my program regularly.

ok thanks! I found one that was 1 amp and so far so good.
