Re: VRM power for radio

The radio is 5V. Plug the D-link radio into one of the 5v 2A channels on the VRM.

Do no power any other 5V 2A devices from this VRM. Using the 12V is ok on the same VRM for other 12V devices.

If you require additional high amp 5V sources use a second VRM.

If you have any other quick questions check out http://controls.team2168.org, we have a lot of answers to most questions up there.

Hope this helps,
Kevin

Re: VRM power for radio

I found my problem. I didn't realize that 5V was all on one side and not green was 5V and Gray was 12V. The radio power sticker was covering up the label.

Shorts on ANY of the 5 volt ports will cause the radio to reboot in my experience.
