I want to power a strip of 12v LEDs with my BlinkStick Pro.
The LEDs won’t light up with just the 5v power supply from the BlinkStick so I was wondering whether I could not use the +5v pin on my BlinkStick and use the +12v pin from the LED controller instead without blowing up my laptop.
If I were to just use 12v instead of 5, would there be any danger to my laptop? If so, is there a circuit that I could use to still power the lights but not have the power feed back?
You can’t connect anything driven by 12V to BlinkStick Pro without MOSFETs. I have an LED adapter board ready, will let you know when it’s available to purchase.
When will this adapter board be aviable?
I remembered this simple SparkFun MOSFET Power board:
Could this be an alternative until your board is ready to purchase?
Just an idea, cause you seem to be very busy at the moment 
Ive read trough the forum and it seems like he has already send this adapter out to some people but now he is not responding. I just sit here with my 12v led strip and a useless blinkstick 
Hey Trojan,

I hope he responses in under a year or so…
Sorry, don´t know whats going on at the moment
@trojan9418 I have a few boards available, not enough yet to add it in the shop. Please contact me directly by sending a private message or email to info@blinkstick.com and I’ll see what I can do.
