It depends on your Ultimaker board version...
- 1.5.3: Out of luck
- 1.5.4: you can solder a bridge on the board to re-route the power to the arduino
- 1.5.7 / 1.5.7: it should be stand-alone
I have an old 1.5.3, and I just connect the USB to a cell phone 'charger' to provide the 5V. (Will work as well with 1.5.4)
BTW, I'll release a new firmware version tomorrow with a couple of small changes...

I just realised something. My Arduino and thus my Smart Controller does not seem to have power without being connected to the computer via USB. That rather defeats the purpose
Some quick research indicates this is not supposed to happen. Onto the next problem!
