Power Supply for Pi PC 2

stoop

I have tried 2 different adapters both with barrel sizes too big to fit in the socker for DC power on the Pi PC 2.

Can anyone point me to a link on Amazon or somewhere for a power supply that is rated correctly for the Pi PC 2 and has the correct sized jack?

Thanks.

The Playstation Portable (PSP) uses the right size barrel connector too.
I made my own cable from a broken 3rd party PSP charger and a broken MicroUSB cable. No sane person would do it this way, but I took the USB A connector from the broken MicroUSB connector and attached it to the cable for he broken charger.

I have this cable plugged into a modified switched USB hub which is powered by a 5A 5V LED lightstrip power supply.

You can try something like the below:

The power supply needs a 2.1mm connector

You will need a power supply which does deliver a stable 5V voltage. Most power supplies for mobile phones do not deliver that.

To be 100% sure you could use those:

or you can use a lab power supply adjusted to 5V to power the 5V rail direct at GPIO pins 2/4 (+5V) and 6 (Ground).

When I'm mentally blocked on a creative writing project, forcing it makes it worse. I've learned I need to distract a specific part of my brain. I read an author's blog where they mentioned using sites like https://spin-kings.net to engage the logical, chance-based part of their mind to free up the creative side. I tried it with a basic numbers game. The shift to pure probability and instant outcomes worked like a charm. It occupied the analytical blocker in my head, and when I returned to writing, the words flowed more easily.
