9V battery works when connected o Vin pin.

https://github.com/ytai/ioio/wiki/Power-Supply says:

The most common way of powering the IOIO is by connecting a DC voltage source, anywhere between 5V-15V, with the (+) side going to one of the three pins marked as “VIN” and the (-) side going to one of the nine pins marked as GND.

Did the 9v battery work on the ioio board? I have a 5volt ioio board and I’m having doubt whether I should connect it or should I use a volgate regulator to step down the voltage.

Link to one interesting project that uses IOIO

[Bryce] opted for controlling the rig through Android and a IOIO board. This gives the project a lot of options for communications, including Bluetooth. The whole thing is powered by a 19V battery pack.

Also check out the newly announced protocoder, which is a JS environment for writing Android app including using the IOIO, all done from a Web-based IDE served from the Android:

[I'm the guy who designed the IOIO]

Note that you can get a IOIO-OTG for $30 from SeeedStudio. Unlike the DX version and other questionable clone, the Seeed boards are manufactured with the best standards and are individually testing.
While I don’t personally care about DX making and selling my design, it is a bit unfortunate that some people who are not as persistent as you might conclude that this is a bad product in general as opposed to considering that they bought it from a cheap-and-crappy vendor.

Thanks for the review! I hope you have fun with the board now that you have it up and running.
