			'''There are three ways to power the LED0100:'''
			* USB Power (5V, current limited by USB connection)
			* Barrel Jack Connector (5 to 24V, 3.5A maximum)
			* Externally (5 to 24V, no current maximum)

			USB Power is useful for quick benchtop tests or small installations, but won't be able to support many LEDs due to limited current over USB.

			The barrel jack connector provides a convenient way to connect a power supply to your Addressable LED Phidget.

			Wiring an external power supply is good for installations with high current requirements.

===Power Supply===
The barrel jack connector provides a convenient way to connect an external power supply to your Addressable LED Phidget. Please note the following:
# When connecting via USB, an external power supply is optional. When connecting via VINT, external power is required.
# This device does not include voltage regulation, so your power supply voltage must match that of your LEDs. Many commercially available addressable LEDs operate at 5V, but we recommend reviewing your LED specifications to confirm.
# The Addressable LED Phidget intelligently monitors current draw. To benefit from this feature, connect your LED power supply through the power jack. If you power the LEDs directly, current monitoring will be bypassed.

==2. Software==
===Operating System===
If you are using Phidgets for the first time, visit our [{{SERVER}}/docs/Operating_System_Support Operating System] page and download the latest libraries for your system.

We recommend using a Windows or macOS machine to start so you can experiment with key features using the Phidget Control Panel.
