I'm working with the Movi API and designing a little PCB that's connected to the MIMIC via COM1 port. My pcb draws very little current and I can easily power it with the +5v supplied by the COM 1 port. Now I'm wondering if I can do the opposite and actually charge the MIMIC supplying it with 5v on that same port. I would, of course, power it with a regulated supply; is this doable? Is it ok to do? Do I run any risk? Thanks!
Icopo: I seem to recall that the answer is no, there's not enough current available -- but that could well be my failing memory.
