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![:D](//content.invisioncic.com/ultimake/emoticons/5a33abe7dfbbe_1f600copy.png)
Some quick research indicates this is not supposed to happen. Onto the next problem!
