Power Tap - Where To ?
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:44 am
After much design and re-design I am near finished with my Rambo board and accessories enclosure. Using anothers initial design I reworked all things to fit and function. I have spots for 3 buck converters inside and the first one slows the new case cooling fan to a comfortable level and still cranks a lot of air through the case. My second buck converter will power the led strip lights on the M2 Dual. I have installed a pretty little rocker switch for the lights - to the left of the USB connection (yellow wire loop in picture). My conundrum is where to pull the 12 - 24 Volt power from my Rambo Version 1.3L board. I see an Aux Power out on the board schematic but it looks like the Gee Tech is already using that source.
My thought is to pull power from one of the three power input sections - Either (A) heated bed, or (B) logic, heaters, and fans, or (C) Motors.
I's love some feedback on this. Thanks,
Lowell
