I am very happy for you.
But even happier for myself.

I will buy Bome Box and MIDI Translator Pro immediately from your shop.

But I need a link to buy a power supply from Jameco here in the USA if you dont mind.
I have nothing but thier PSUs on all my gear.

Thanks Flor and congrats for such passion and dedication.

Hi, we recommend a power supply with at least 1A at 5V. The BomeBox uses 150mA, and will pass along to attached USB devices up to 1A. So, more than 1.15A will not be used by the BomeBox, but it's usually a good idea to have some headroom for a stable power supply.

Note: all that only matters if you plan to attach multiple USB devices using an non-powered hub. Otherwise, powering through an active hub is probably the best solution.

These standard USB power supplies will work fine (in order of my preference):

• 5V 2A Compact Wall Adapter Power Supply with micro-USB Output
• 10 Watt 5 Volt DC 2.1 Amp USB Wall Power Supply -- requires additional micro-USB cable
• 5 Volt 2.4 Amp 12 Watt Slim Wall-Mount Power Adapter, USB Version
• Apple Single Port 5V 1A AC Charger for iPhone/iPod -- will provide up to 850mA to attached USB devices using a non-powered USB hub.
• you can also order our international power supply. It's the Raspi3 power supply.

If you plan to attach multiple USB-MIDI devices, a powered USB hub can be used to provide power to the USB devices and to power the BomeBox itself. See the images here for the configuration. Any brand name hub should work, we usually use D-Link hubs.

Another option is to use Power over Ethernet (PoE): it provides a stable power source and has the additional advantage of a larger connector with click. Standard PoE power supplies (48V "PoE injector") can be bought for as low as $10, you don't need to use Ethernet.

Hope that helps!
Florian

Indeed it does.
Look forward to bothering people here for help as I incorporate this into my stage rig.

PS: updated my reply with info about PoE power supply.

Flor,
Just got this and was wondering if everything looked good.
Specs should be OK I hope.

Thanks

JV

yes, looks good to me (from the specs).
Thanks,
Florian
