Yeah the feeder should be on when you connect it to controller but the manual feed button should work as using the controller to power up is the same as the batteries. The main 3.3v and ground from controller should go where the batteries would connect. If you just hook those up and ignore the data wire it should operate just like it was using batteries. The data wire puts out 3.3v when the controller tells the feeder to run but its only stays active for about 1 second then the data wire goes back to 0v and the feeder electronics take over.
Can you see a Rev version on both the controller boards? I can't remember what you have, that'll tell us if you need to run that jumper.
