5 volt splitbox with amp and volt meter

thingiverse

I never have enough 5V power on my desk. Charging a phone, tinkering with a Raspberry pi, add a powered USB hub, and i find myself frustratedly looking for another charger. NO MORE! This little monster takes 5V from anything (hopefully a decent source), and split it into 6 usb outputs and one other jack on the other side. The switches allow me to select which ports are ran through the meter, so i can see total usage, or just how much that pi is drawing. (That leaves 4 switches for other stuff, and of course you could choose to use the switches as on/off or whatever.) I also really wanted it to be servicable and "moddable", so i wanted all the solder work (incl. input jack) on one part, and the box be completely seperate, which more or less explains the shape it turned into. I used very generic parts, which most electronics shops would sell, but here are some links: Switches: https://www.tinytronics.nl/shop/nl/componenten/schakelaars/kleine-schakelaar-voor-printplaat-of-breadboard USB connectors: https://www.tinytronics.nl/shop/nl/connectoren/usb/usb-a-connector-diy-female Female Jacks on both sides: https://www.tinytronics.nl/shop/nl/connectoren/jack-pluggen/dc-jack-plastic-5.5mm-female-mount Volt-meter: https://www.tinytronics.nl/shop/nl/prototyping/meten/stroom-en-spanningsmeter-met-segmenten-display-7-100vdc-10adc
