fit-PC3 power supply for use in Car
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 6:02 pm
Hi,
I would like to use the fit-PC3 for use in car for logging OBD-data and to act as a USB slave to my audio installation. USB slave can be achieved using linux' USB Gadget implementation. Using wifi, the fit-pc will synchronise my music volume when I am near home. As soon as the car is started, the music volume will be available to the USB host again.
To achieve this, I would prefer to directly connect the fit-PC3 to a 12V car powersupply. I have been looking for DC-DC inverters but my knowledge of this expertise is limited.
I have found this device: http://store.mp3car.com/Intelligent_DC_ ... wr-034.htm
"DCDC-USB is a high power intelligent DC-DC converter. This unit accepts any input ranging from 6-34V. Output is 12V regulated or output can be changed with simple jumper settings to 5V, 6V, 9V, 12V, 13.5V, 18V or 24V or via USB in fine increments (0.25V) anywhere from 5-24V."
Will I be able to power my fit-PC3 with this device? I have ordered the LP-version of the fit-PC3.
Thanks for the replies!
Pieter
