May 13 16:39:04 <theblue_> Hi all.
May 13 16:39:23 <theblue_> How much should I expect the slug to draw when using the ethernet and a usb port?
May 13 16:39:31 <theblue_> as in, amps?
May 13 16:41:15 <Reedy_Boy> couple of amps, it depends what drives your running, what OS its on
May 13 16:41:23 <Reedy_Boy> its less than 10W i believe when i last checked
May 13 16:42:06 <theblue_> running debian?
May 13 16:42:19 <theblue_> i know it's less than 2A.
May 13 16:42:38 <Reedy_Boy> yeah, mine was something around that
May 13 16:42:50 <theblue_> ok, could i power it off a 6V battery?
May 13 16:43:19 <Reedy_Boy> Depends how much power its got, whether you've got the right converters.....
May 13 16:43:33 <theblue_> 10Ah, enough to power it for 5 hours at minimum.
May 13 16:43:56 <theblue_> i mean, could i just solder to the power connector terminals?
May 13 16:44:01 <Reedy_Boy> As long as you give it the 12v it needs, cant see why not
May 13 16:44:08 <theblue_> wha..?
May 13 16:44:12 <theblue_> it's a 5V device!
May 13 16:44:28 <Reedy_Boy> is it :S
May 13 16:44:33 <theblue_> yeah.
May 13 16:44:39 <Reedy_Boy> so it is
May 13 16:44:40 <Reedy_Boy> lol
May 13 16:44:49 <Reedy_Boy> lte
May 13 16:44:52 <theblue_> anyway.
May 13 16:44:57 <Reedy_Boy> other things are 12v, they cloud my mind
May 13 16:45:00 <theblue_> right/
May 13 16:45:07 <theblue_> this is the only device i've run into that takes 5v.
May 13 16:45:10 <theblue_> and it's so irritating.
May 13 16:45:22 <theblue_> but do you know which terminal is positive and negative?
May 13 16:45:34 <theblue_> it's center positive, i know, but which pin on the bottom of the board is that?
May 13 16:45:48 <Reedy_Boy> its probably most likely on the wiki
May 13 16:45:51 <Reedy_Boy> theres a wealth of info
May 13 16:45:53 <theblue_> Thanks then.
