 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi Vasi, Interesting article about heat.. I have been looking at some of the DC-DC converters that are available on the net.. A few options here: Single Output Dual Output I have ordered both of the above for experimenting... These should be able to power any mite and most peripherals without excess heat.. Has anyone had any experience with them? Regards, Mick Mick's uMite Stuff can be found >>> HERE (Kindly hosted by Dontronics) <<< |

Looks that Dual Output one gives much higher Amps, but with much lower source voltage than the single one. George |
