Reply With QuoteThe radioshack linear regulator has a schematic on the back of the package. If you get tired of trying to keep it cool, do a search for switching regulators. They've been mentioned quite a few times here.
So, two 5v regulators on a wire led from the cigarette adapter will produce enough power for the USB hub. 2 amps at 5v. It's gonna need a heatsink. 2 regulators, 1 heatsink, less than $5.00 at radioshack.
I have never done anything like this before. Can anyone post a pic of how it should be wired up? I see 3 prongs on the regulators. And the heatsink.. how am I gonna keep it attached ?
