Ordered from DX.com it claims to supply up to 10A at 5V from a 12V source.

I’m looking forward to seeing if that is indeed the case :o)

As I ordered more than one, they’re going to be used for both the Joggler and Portable Hotspot projects.

50W Audio Amplifier

I’m considering grabbing one of these devices for the audio amplifier.

It’s easily found on EBay, Amazon, and google searches as:

“TDA7850 50W 4 CH 12V Car Audio Amplifier Board DIY Kit”

However, it’s a fixed gain amp, so on the plus side everything is controlled by the computer.

The downside is that every bit of noise will be amplified too.
