Thank you all of you. Highly appreciated feedback.
I found Semtech EZ1585 should work for reaching 5 Volt out, but yeah, I have no idea about electronics and more modifications will probably be required. I'll try to find the old papers with the circuit diagram, etc. Only god knows where they are. The PSU was purchased in 2009. Knowing me, the papers are somewhere, I didn't throw any of it away... I also looked at Mouser and found Texas Instruments LM1084 (which could work with input voltage up to 25 Volt), but I'm dangerous around electronics since I don't know if these regulators (or whatever they are) are compatible. Strebor56, you're probaly right. I'm just trying to use something I already have, and the target is to be able to feed more than the standard 3 Ampere into an USB-port. How about 4.8 Ampere like the EZ1585 can deliver (= 24 Watt). I'm considering to feed it to the GPIO pins directly and bypass the USB chipset on the Pi. If 24 Watt doesn't make my Raspberry Pi happy, then nothing will. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cfuttrup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32784 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113258 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
