I have a CY8CKIT-044 that I can power using USB; however, when I try to power the kit using J7 (Vin, Gnd), the board will not power up.  I have tried 12v-5v/3a converted, 9v battery pack, 12v/3a walwart -- none of them will power the board.

   

I've read the manual several times and I don't see anything about setting jumpers or otherwise changing the board configuration.  Does anyone have a similar experience and/or solution?

   

Thanks

You will need a good power supply not what you have been using.  It needs to be 5 volts and no ripple. I would get a bench supply and not a wall wart as they often are not the best.  Also you need to remove these parts.
