Duet 3 MB 6HC - 12V pinout - Current?

[Nightowl]

I may be wrong, but isn't the 12V limited to 800mA, as per the Operating Limits table in the documentation?

@nightowl
I am not sure this is part of those pins?

Looks like the 12V output is limited to 1A in total for all 12V devices

@moth4017 don't forget the 5v and 3.3v are also generated from the 12v supply

@pro3d Hmm, I think the table is quite specific, but I'm happy to be corrected.

I'll be using those (2+3) pins to supply and control the 0-10V PWM-to-Voltage module for my AMB milling motor, when I eventually get it.

@nightowl yes that 12V connector is include din the total 12V current. Your PWM-to-10V converter should draw only a few mA.

Thanks. I need to power a ESP32. Think it draws some 350ma ish

@pro3d your ESP32 will need 3.3V, not 12V.

David. For info, it depends a bit on the board. Most ESP32 dev boards have the option to connect unregulated power up to 12V to the 5V and gnd pins but the voltage regulator will get a bit warm at anything above 6 to 7 volts. If one uses 3.3V it must be regulated and connected between 3.3V and gnd. The third (and often simplest) option is to power via the inbuilt usb.

The ESP is connected to a dev board
