Powering the Arduino (the Right Way)

The Arduino’s power supply portion of the board is one of the most important parts on the board.

Yet, few makers know how to power the Arduino safely and properly.

Yes, it’s true. Most of us either keep our Arduino tethered to a PC where it can draw power, or we grab some random wall wart or battery pack and use that.

But, like most things in life (and especially electronics) there is a wrong way and right way to power your Arduino.

A while back, I wrote a nice article that goes into detail on how to power the Arduino the right way.

I won’t repeat the contents of the article here, but I will provide a link to the original article and I strongly suggest you read it, especially if you’re just getting started with Arduino

Without further ado, here is the link: How to Power Your Arduino Safely & Properly.
