Easy 5V Power Supply for OpenCockpits Cards

[hyamesto]

Hi Hg,

I looked into that, too, but I seem to recall that the cell phone charger I had was 6V. It probably sounds trivial, but I had no idea if 6V would be 1V too much for the OC board. I just didn't want to take a chance.

And, soldering it to the master card… well, yes, that works. I just like plugs, for easy assembly/disassembly in the future.

Thanks for your input!

Some charger has 6v unloaded, when you put a charge, the voltage drops to 5v. Try measuring connecting a lamp.....
Regards.
Horacio.
