NZJon 0 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Kia ora. I am aware that the external USB ports on the Helios are able to deliver up to 900mA per port. I am wondering whether it is possible to find a power source inside the Helios64 that would be able to deliver, say, 2.5A at 5v? Maybe somewhere quite soon after the 12v power in...? 🤔 Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen--smithee 14 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 5v - 12v At your peril ! https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/sata/#j8-pinout 12v Maybe you can possibly bridged the input power to J16 https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/hardware/#connector-interface-list 3v - 5v but not 2.5a https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/ gpio /# pinout Helios64 is not intended for this. the best would be to make a space size of your power cable on back cover of the case and plug it into a power source provided for this purpose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisath 101 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Should be easy enough to grab 5V of the wiring harness for the HDDs. J8 is the place to go for your high power 12V or 5V needs. https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/sata/#j8-pinout (there is even a picture with the wire harness). The GPIO header is not the right place to get high current from .) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
