But what sort of Voltage and Amperage do you use with that connection? Coz,
with me it won't work very well with a couple of adapters putting out 6 to
12 Volts (max. 1.25 A).

I'd use a 9V 1.5A _regulated_ power supply.
Lower ampere ratings should also work until you stall three motors ...

Thanks, Jürgen!
I have installed the firmware with a 9.6V=, 50mA! adapter, but no sensors or
motors connected :-) It was a breeze after I found the right connection
