Hi! Just unpacked my axidraw a3 / v3.
I am in Europe / Italy.I just downloaded the manual, attached the disconnected pin to the board following the instructions.
Plugged the power supply via an adapter like this:When open inkscape, extensions > Axidraw > setup > apply
I get this error message:`
Warning: Low voltage detected.
Check that power supply is plugged in.
`Do I need any specific voltage for it?
The AxiDraw includes a “universal input” power supply. It should use a plug-shape adapter only, not a voltage adapter like that one. You are probably not getting enough output voltage from it.
I too have the same problem, and have tried on various adaptors.
If you use a voltage adapter, it *will not* work. You need to use a straight-through adapter that gives the power supply the full power that it needs. We have regularly heard of issues like this with voltage adapters.
Alternative approaches include: (A) Contact technical support or (B) Use your own power supply.
If you would like to use your own power supply, it needs to have
(1) 9 V DC output
(2) regulated output
(3) At least 1.5 A output current capacity
(4) a 2.1 x 5.5 mm output barrel jack
(5) center-positive output
