Title: Need 5 volts from S2000 to power a Mikohm display. Post by: qbert on June 21, 2013, 08:16:55 PM I'm trying to install a ChamII+ stand alone without the separate power supply on an S2000 machine. I need 12 volts and 5 volts to operate the stand alone.
I can get 12 volts for the processor board from the netplex distribution board so that is not a problem. Where on the s2K can I tap off to get 5 volts to power the Mikohm display? Pics would help Thanks Rich Title: Re: Need 5 volts from S2000 to power a Mikohm display. Post by: idesign on June 21, 2013, 08:26:26 PM You don't, the power supply for an S2000 does not supply 5V.

Thanks idesign for the rapid response. Rich Title: Re: Need 5 volts from S2000 to power a Mikohm display. Post by: idesign on June 21, 2013, 08:38:37 PM 110V AC to 5V DC.........Wouldn't it be easier just to buy the power supply and not fry something?

Post by: qbert on June 21, 2013, 08:45:59 PM We are talking cheap and effective, I have a ton of old desktop computer power supplies and I will just use one of them.
Nice smooth 5 and 12 volt DC and there is plenty of room in the cab to mount it. I thought I could take the easy way out by using existing wiring.

that is where I had mine and the display was in a topper on the top of the machine. Title: Re: Need 5 volts from S2000 to power a Mikohm display. Post by: qbert on June 22, 2013, 10:13:11 AM Thanks Foster,
I put the power supply in the lower case by the BV, made a harness that uses the PC hard drive connector, with long wires to the stand alone box up top. I mounted the metal stand alone box in the top box because the ribbon harness was too short. The PC power supply works great! Here is a pic of the 4 reel project so far, I have a few more things to do like put the progressive sticker in the top glass and finish around the display. Sorry for the poor quality pic. Rich |
