Re: Having trouble with Helders Power Board

I'm using 28awg for power but have everything homerun to the PSU to reduce load on the cables and reduce possible noise. (The teensy and external USB dont have 28 awg but that's it) Again you need to use 22-24AWG for power output from the PSU to the pi or whatever you're using to power off the PSU ...

Re: Having trouble with Helders Power Board

Power issues can be a few things like the wire thickness and length you want 24AWG or thicker like 22AWG and keep them short. The other issue that alot of people seem to do is power the PSU through a usb connection and it's not outputting the correct voltage the PSU NEEDS a battery soldered on to b...

I have 2 problems with my board currently: 1st problem: Random brownouts I'm not sure if it's that the batteries are low, I measured the voltage and they were 3.3v if I remember correctly, but these ce...

Question I have for you intelligent individuals. I have the teensy 2.0 soldered directly to a raspberry pi A+ without any headers. ...

Re: DSi XL zero - Build Log

Sorry for the long overdue update, haven't logged into sudo in awhile and went toward semi streaming.

I've got some pics on my PC that I'll post later when I get home. However @VeteranGamer was wondering if you could give me a hand on another post you contributed to. Check the Wii U raspberry pi post

Re: Please help me finalize my DS Lite AIO (with dual screens)

Why do you need a voltage divider for the battery monitor? Arduino can handle 0-5v on analog pins. To measure voltage you have to hookup before the step up converter.

Also do you mind putting a description in the OP next to the ic list, ex. Ic977 - op amp
