Is it possible to have the main board run 12V pixels and the expansion board run 5V pixels?

If so, what would the jumper settings look like?

David Pitts

The expansion board has no jumpers to set just use 5V.

The main board will have pins 1&2 jumper-ed and 3&4. This is written right on the board for reference. Also please see power video in the wiki.

I watched the video and saw the jumper settings. No mention of powering the expansion board.

I see the green LED on the expansion lit with NO power applied to the expansion so made me a little nervous without a volt meter to just start sticking power to it.

The 5V for electronics comes over the ribbon cable. The power for pixels comes from power input connectors.
