2 basic questions I shall ask before attempting

Post by officialfbomb » Thu Apr 13, 2017 5:22 am

So I'm not new to soldering, modding etc, but I take caution when getting into a new console.. So I have two basic questions, I want to run a 5v USB line, I would prefer a always on line, but and fine with a only on when on line, I know I can get get 5 and gnd from the power connector down below, but is the other spots I can wire a clean 5v USB port to?

Secondly, I want to have a rechargeable battery in my Wave bird, Ik 1.2 plus 1.2 is not 3.7, but I can't wait get a 2500 mah 3.7 battery and already have a circuit for it to charge and send power to the mobo, now do I have to use a full step down board? or can I use resistors to cut the power down efficiently, I'm not good with power, resistance and all this but I am learning..

Thanks for all the input!

Stepdown board definitely and just get rechargable AA batteries for your wavebird as it's not worth destroying
