Any Problems Running Pixelblaze off 5v5a?

Hey all, just wanted to triple check and see if I’lll have any issues running my Pixelblazes off of a 5v5a buck converter? I’m already powering my LEDs off the converter, so if I don’t have to rig up a second converter specifically for the PB that would be ideal but also not a deal breaker.

Thanks!

It depends on the converter. It will probably work, but you might see some WiFi issues with some buck converters. It needs one with a very good transient response (one that can react quickly when the WiFi radio bursts on for a few milliseconds). I’d give it a try and if you see WiFi issues, try it with a mini buck for the PB.

Perfect, exactly the info I needed, thanks!
