5v for wav trigger midi

hi, i was working on a midi input interface that the wav trigger tutorial sez is needed to receive midi messages. they say to close a jumper on the board to supply 5v to the 5vin pin for the power to interface.

2 questions

can i put a pin header in the neighboring cluster next to the ftdi pin header and use that 5v?

if i close the tiny jumper, what do i need to keep board safe other than not power from barrel connector and the ftdi connector at the same time? thank you for your time and energy

Yes, that would work. :slight_smile:
