I re-purpose ...Hi, my call is KM4UN when I get on!<br /><br />I re-purpose old thin client computers and more recently following this raspberry pi craze.<br /><br />One idea I just saw in another rpi blog was a guy that added the needed powered USB hub and also powered the rpi with the same wall wart. The neat part was that he bought an un-powered hub for quite a bit less money and hacked it. the link - http://pihub.blogspot.com/<br /><br />One idea that works for me but won't for you is to use the 5v output of an old computer supply. You'll notice a slight wave on your screen from the ripple. For me, my little thin clients work in clusters without a screen, so it's fine.<br /><br />73Joe Minerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961763839312813372noreply@blogger.com
