Voltage and current requirements table for power management solution #1

Open mertyildiran opened 6 years ago

mertyildiran commented 6 years ago

Add a file named PowerManagement.md into DragonHelmet/ directory.

Include the voltage and current requirements of each single component as a table inside PowerManagement.md file. Like this:

Component Input Voltage Max. Load
DLP® LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM 5V 2.6A
Standard speaker 3.3V 1A
MOXA EDS-205 Entry-level Unmanaged Ethernet Switch 5.V 2A

etc... (values inside the table are figurative)

I'm thinking I need to learn a bit more about all these tools you guys are using to work on this thing. The thing I noticed early on in examining your design is that most every component runs at 5V. I think you should restrict that. Can't be that hard to find a few alternatives to the things which are not 5V. Failing that, it shouldn't be that hard to power a few odd things at a lower voltage. (Like speakers. Might want independent power for those.)

@gallomimia even though 5V looks like the standard for most the parts, necessary current is differs substantially. Someone should do the study and come up with the data.
