What are the permissions on the USB stick. Just do "ls -l" and see. Likely the device now is owned by a group you need to be a member of in order to have write permission.But you can use "sudo chmod ..." to do a one time fix. On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 12:03 PM, Nicklas Karlsson

No, SOME switched mode supplies are noisy and need external filters. Many of the are very good. The problem is you never know what you will get if you buy stuff on eBay. Even if it says "Genuine Acme Brand" it may not be. There are MANY fake products sold. What I do is buy and test out one

What's this for again? I have found it preferable to use one of the DC/DC converters off the 24v power supply for steppers (or 48v, but that's a different story, that requires an HV converter and the ones they sell are all- ALL- fakes, you have to mod it with real components). Danny

Switched power electronics are horrible noise sources. Common mode chokes in the form ferrite cores usually dampen the noise. 2016-12-29 7:07 GMT+01:00 TJoseph Powderly : > I'll second the meanwell p/s > but the name is just so ... apologetic :-) > mine have sticker 'finely
