Wiring to +5 volt from PC question
« on: July 22, 2004, 01:36:07 pm »
Ok...I'm taking a power cable (MOLEX 4 PIN) from my pc and powering my P360s with the +5 and ground...

want I want to know is...can I also power my LCD screen and my LED Light board with the same power cable? Or will my P360's drain too much from that 1 lead?

I was actually going to just run a +5 and ground to a bus bar and send the multiple power and grounds for all those devices to the bus bar I'm just concerned that that one lead will have too much of a drop in voltage for that 1 wire.

I am a total laman when it comes to all this so please forgive me if my verbage isn't correct.

Thanks

You could run out of power.  You may need a larger wattage power supply.

It's unlikely that you will run out of power with a few 5v devices but are you sure the lcd screen and led board are 5v?  They both seem like they would be 12v, but that's just a guess.  Otherwise I don't see a problem if you have a half way decent power supply.

If he has the same LCD as me, and I think he does, it's 5v, no doubt.
