Quoted from Crash:

AC adapter for the Pi:

The Pi's can be very finicky with the AC adaptor powering them (I had issues with one of mine running RaspBMC and crashing a lot from a cheaper AC power plug), so just a heads up to people looking to do this - most of the issues caused with the Pi, more likely than not, stem from a bad supply of power.

Sorry if I missed it, but does the Pi basically run off of the SD card that comes with the dmd extender (so no need to program the Pi outside of inserting the SD card)? And did you decide to pull power from the pin's boards, or are you still using the AC adaptor from above? I have a pin that the dmd is starting to act up and would love to mess around with this.
