Red Batteries.... Power the Scarlet and Epic

[Luis Caffesse]

What is the worst thing that could happen?

You could fry the brain and it wouldn't be covered under warranty.

(you did ask what the WORST thing that could happen is)

 

[Elias Markkula]

You think that is REALLY possible? According to the EPIC manual, the camera warns you if a power spike is detected.

I have some DIY spirit in me... But theoretically those should work? What is the worst thing that could happen?

Sure, power spike.

It won't warn you about power on the wrong pins, crossed power etc... because it will be dead.
