DC DC Converter
Posted: Mon Apr 10, 2017 4:04 am
Hi, a few weeks ago I taught myself how to solder and decided to create a PiBoy zero (maybe not the best project to start with). As I'm really inexperienced in terms of soldering and hardware related things (I'm a software guy) I destroyed my first 3.5" monitor planned for this project. Now I'm pretty frustrated and thought I could use a DC-DC converter to "boost" the 5V of the Pi or later the output of the Adafruit Powerboost 1000c to 12V to power the screen. Are there any disadvantages then I use a converter instead of modding a monitor (and maybe killing it again)?
I hope someone can tell me and I hopefully post this in the forum.
