I just found out USB to cigarette lighter adapters exist… first of all, why, second of all, how? isn't that supposed to be 12V?
@Jo I guess, but what would happen if I plugged anthing that actually needs 12V into it?
@noiob It doesn't work, I guess. ![]()
@gamehawk a cigarette lighter port gives 12V, USB-A gives 5
@gamehawk I wonder how many USB-cig and cig-USB adapters you could stack before something bad would happen
@gamehawk a keyboard that includes an USB to PS/2 adapter needs to be able to switch to PS/2 mode itself, you can't just plug any USB keyboard into one of those adapters
@gamehawk I know, but that's why the stack wouldn't work
@ticky hm, it might, but that would still make it kinda underpowered for most devices you'd wanna plug into it?
@noiob oh I mean absolutely, it’d probably draw more than 500mA sooooo
@noiob Maybe it just lights up slower?
