Best way to provide power to my Sensebender GW

[JohnRob]

Hi,

I'm currently assembling my Sensebender Gateway with W5100 Ethernet module and RM69HW radio. I would like to know other's experience powering this combination.

I could use a phone charger through the Micro USB, but I'm concerned the radio might take too much power (when xmitting) than the thin wire and mall connector (micro USB) provided by the charger.

Other option is 5V in through the MYSX connector.

Thanks

The micro USB cable can provide 2A while the radio module only draws 100mA at full power, so no big problem I'd say

I use a good quality 5V power supply and a DC to micro USB adapter

There are also power supply with micro USB

Thanks to both

The reason I asked was some time back I was playing with a RasPi board and found the micro-usb to be very unreliable.
