Re: DotCom DooHickey (+5V)

I don't think that the DotCom DooHickey, aka the QMPSA - MOTM/Blacet
Power Supply Adapter, Will work for the MOTM-650.  At the bottom of
the MOTM-650 page it says "NOTE: This module requires a MOTM-950 or
other source of +5V, 575ma power"  and the DotCom site lists a +5V
output of only 200ma max for the DooHickey.  You would be 375ma short
of the needed current.  Remember, powerful modules like the 650
require, well, power.
