Used Power-Supply

• I've found a desktop-power supply which was originaI used for an external 5 1/4 inch hard-drive. It provides 12V / 2A and 5V / 2A thus exactly what is neede for the piano expander.
• 5V / 2A for the Joy-It Touch-Display
• 12V / 2A for the Odroid-N2

• The connector which was used on this power-supply was a Mini-DIN4 Power Plug (PP).
