  1. About powering the Vishay LED DMD.. (still waiting my Orange display but I want to make sure I know how to connect it when it arrives): According to the attachment few posts back there are 2x 5v connections and 2xGND. Now... If I have understood correctly I should be able to use my PC PSU to power the display. BUT in order not to fry the display I need to modify the default 4-pin molex connector(?). I found this description about the molex: 1 yellow +12 volts 2 black ground 3 black ground 4 red +5 volts So I need to take the yellow and second black wire out and make sure the remaining black/red wires match the 5v/GND on the Vishay? I don't own any voltage meter so can I trust this? Or is there a risk that the color coding is different in different PSU's? I'm a total dummy when it comes to electricity so I just want this explained in a way that even I can understand -Teppo-
