Is it safe to power a Fez Domino/Mini/Panda using a cars 12v power supply?
I’ve read that the cars 12v supply may sometime be higher, upto 24v if it’s being jump started, would that blow a Fez board up or would a cigarette lighter plug regulate it to only output 12v?
Any ideas welcome!
Found this product, input voltage 12v - 24v, outputs 5v through a USB socket.
Here’s the description :
"The single port USB charger for car cigar/cigarette lighter allows users to charge their USB devices, without the need to connect the device to a computer. This product is compatible with most devices, including mobiles phones, most MP3 players & satellite navigation products.
1000mA power is much higher than standard adapters can supply so works with nearly all USB power devices.
Will the 5v output be sufficient to power Fez board + gps etc…???
I would suggest a usb cigarette plug.
No need to worry about power. Plug in, done.
The best is that they only cost a few dollar.
