Re: Power conversions

Power conversions

Can anyone help me out. Does anyone one know what formulas to use to figure out what the conversion is from going to a 12V 850ma DC to 5v DC. Or from a 5V 2.5A to 3.3v. I'm trying to figure out what amperage I'll get when using the lower voltage rail.

Thanks in advance,

Re: Slimming down the Pi3

Has any had the same problem I'm having. I desoldered the usb ports and the Ethernet jack. However, the USB ports are no longer getting power from the vacant usb port pins. When I tried bypassing by using one of the 5v GPIO pins but I'm not having luck. Any suggestions?

Re: How To - Build the PRS-Tech SNES-Zero

Can the optional USB be used for player 2 or does the GPIO mapping of the buttons prevent that?

Re: Wiring phone battery directly to PowerBoost

You'll have to look up your phone's specific lay out. The extra pads are sometimes used for the li-ion protection circuit, I believe.

Re: Load rom from Card slot

Take a look at this from daftmike on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XXuceH1zu5k

He uses NFC in cartridges to load up the games. You could perhaps take a similar approach with GameBoy carts. That's what I was planning to do ok my next build. I hope this helps.
