a switching regulator would generate less waste heat and present less physical resistance in the dynamo. Maybe it's negligible, but it's not that much expense to upgrade from a linear regulator. I have one of these http://www.dimensionengineering.com/DE-SW050.htm that I could try once I have a hub dynamo. -- Brad _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
