Hi guys,
First time post here. I'm trying to fit some electronics into a case and wanted to get your guys thoughts on the following:
I have an external power adapter that is outputting 12V 3.33A. The device (LCD panel) it is powering has "normal power consumption" listed at 20W for typical operation. What I'd like to do is build a board that takes the power adapter's output, and allows me to utilize it for a 5V 2A device as well.
Could this be done? I've done soldering, basic circuit boards, etc, but never really anything like this.
The external power adapter has a DC plug on the end, so I'd like to utilize the same size jacks and make the "box in the middle" a plug-and-play unit.
Thanks in advance!
