I can&rsquo;t speak for everyone, but between phones and tablets, i have an excess of micro-usb cables laying around, and im sure I can&rsquo;t be the only one with nothing to do with them.</p> sorphin urn:uuid:6d070a01-ffc8-4e34-684a-11bec09d81e0 2015-09-18T19:14:32-06:00 <p>Good and bad with this thing&hellip; 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 The other issue seems to be that the schematic is definately out of date&hellip; it&rsquo;s missing one of the diodes that is on the board (That appears to be for reverse polarity on the output?)&hellip;</p> JeffT urn:uuid:f5585c75-5c35-950d-507e-f5c1711e3d6f 2015-03-13T15:01:19-06:00 <p>Need to be careful here - the 800mA Operating Current listed is misleading if not put into context.</p> <p>Only the regulator IC (LD1117) is rated at 800mA. 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> Toni_K urn:uuid:392f6f0e-eea8-a45f-7536-ac0e9f918dc4 2015-03-12T14:19:30-06:00 <p>The regulator on board is rated to a max of 800mA.</p> Customer #660385 urn:uuid:01df01c7-a0ca-6fd8-48d0-9aaccd8540b1 2015-03-12T13:59:59-06:00 <p>Any specs on how much current or power this can supply? Voltage alone is only half the equation. ;-)</p>
