1LC 5 volt supply

[ProfChris]

I am connecting my 1LC to a mini5+ via CAN bus. I am also supplying the 1LC with 24 volt power. I also have a 5 volt power supply routed to the 1LC location. I intend to connect a neopixel to IO_0, and another probe to IO_2. Both of these run on 5 volts. I note that the internal 5 volt capability of the 1LC is very limited. Is there a way to connect my external 5 volt supply to the 1LC such that these devices pick up this supply, or must I power these directly from the 5 volt supply, not involving the 1LC?

@ProfChris it's best to power the LEDs directly from your 5V supply. The probe should be OK powered from the 1LC. Make sure that the 5V supply and the Duet system have a common ground/negative supply.

@dc42 Thanks for the reply. I thought that that was probably the case
