    Homebrew USB Charger

    There are plenty of examples on the net on how to build your own usb charger, but since we didn’t have any on our site I figured I’d share it with you.  I found an old wall wort in my junk drawer that I couldn’t remember what it went to, so I figured it would be great to put it to a good use as a USB device charger. Because I didn’t have a clue what the maximum current draw requirements were for a USB device, I found the requirements on USB.org’s website.

    Difficulty : MEDIUM - SAFETY WARNING, Shock Hazard
    Time: 1 hour
