Hello everyone!
I’ve got a bit of a project planned and I need your help. I’ve been running an E02 for quite some time (see http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?8,32824), but I want to switch it out for something with a bit more oomph. Gigabit ethernet and USB2 is still fine. I am currently playing with an Odroid C2. In terms of CPU power it’s a beast, compared to the E02 - Quad core 1,5Ghz 64bit Arm - runs the whole lot I was running on the E02 and is bored all the time. So lots of room for additional stuff.
Now, the good thing about the E02 was: It was a pretty sturdy package, power supply never failed me, etc. In comparison, the Odroid is very easy to damage, no good cases available, power supplies are a bit of a mess, etc.
What I would like to do is: Use an old Pogoplug case and if possible reuse it’s power supply. From reading through the forum, I learned that the V3 has a 12V power supply, so that’s no good, as the Odroid runs on 5V. The E02 has too my understanding 2x 5V available.
Do you think it’s feasible to grab one of the 5V rails and power the Odroid off of that?
(In case it would draw too much power, the next and unavoidable and maybe stupid question is of course: Could I combine the two 5V rails and use them combined?)
Any help its greatly appreciated,
snady
PS: If anyone would like to get rid of an old or broken E02 and is happy to ship within the EU - I am interested.
