12/24V to 5V 10A Converter
Post date: Apr 18, 2012 10:04:15 AM
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.

Apparently some motherboards appear to have mic pins…

I thought this might be a different revision of the board, but it is probably a picture taken from the underside:

The Joggler has a terrible heat sink. It is plastic; no, I’m not kidding you. There is a metal stand at the back that the thermal transfer pad connects to, but even that is too little, too late. It’s enough for the openpeak main uses running a cut-down linux and flash UI, but hardly enough to run a full ubuntu stack on. Thermal throttling isn’t fun, so steps have to be taken to mitigate that.
