Has anyone considered making aversion of this board with a micro-usb input connector? I can't speak for everyone, but between phones and tablets, i have an excess of micro-usb cables laying around, and im sure I can't be the only one with nothing to do with them.</p>

The good, it works.. The bad, it takes some slight header bending for it to fit even the sparkfun solderable protoboards (These: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12070). The other issue seems to be that the schematic is definately out of date... it's missing one of the diodes that is on the board (That appears to be for reverse polarity on the output?)...</p>

The total amount of current <em>this board</em> can supply is dependent on several factors, most importantly, the total power required (Watts, based on Vin, Vout, Iout), and the ambient temperature.</p></p>
