DIY Hydra

blittled

With winter coming I'm planning a hardware project by making a copy of the Hydra since I already have all but a handful of parts. It'll be point to point wiring with most of the connectors (vga, ps2, etc) mounted on panels and connected to the circuit board via male/female headers. I found a nice protoboard to use that has ftdi usb interface. The protoboard is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery that is recharged through the usb. It has 3.3V 100mA and 5V 250mA power supplies. Will this be enough current for the Hydra?

What electronics need - MORE POWER!!!!!!!

I would think that would work fine with the exception that you might want a little more
current if you do something with the Ethernet stuff, then I would use a 3v regulator from
the 5v side to power that.
