My project is being fed with 5V and 12V power ( eurorack module). I also have 3.3 volt regulator powering a few bits and blocks to ensure teensy doesn't see more that 3V on its pins. the Teensy 3.6 itself is being powered by the 5V rail on it's VIN pin.
I already have a lot going on with the module and I was wondering if it was advisable to power the midi keyboard (connecting to teensy as a host) via the 5 volt rail instead of the onboard teensy host port 5V pin.
I have tried it and it seems to work fine. I haven't seen anything abnormal so far while teensy is still only receiving inputs on the DP & DM pins while the other 3 pins (5V, GND, GND) have been left unused.
Thoughts or cautions??!
Thanks in advance.
