I use a hub from Plugable that has a 3A power supply. One of the largest for a USB hub.
Then I remove the plastic cover and "tap" right after the LARGE CAP that stores the 5V for the hub ports "Inside" the hub. The two wires that lead out of the hub are now "Upstream" from all of the loss created by the USB style connectors and parts. This new "regulated" and filters power can be used for all of my needs up to the 3A at 5V ( + 5% !! 5.25V ) for all of the projects. This higher supply covers all of the loss in the power cable and connectors. So an the card I see 5V at the test points. REMEMBER: Each "pin" can only pass 1A with no loss. Over 1A for each pin in these connectors you will have Volt loss... -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
