Attention! If the programmer supports a voltage selector 3.3V and 5.0V you have to set it to 3.3V!

Power the device

Connecting a power supply with a board Power input. The voltage has to be between 8 - 30 V. The power supply has to support minimum 0.5 A (the min and max current is a different for every board).
