NickStallman.net Where the Cheater prowls

Well I got a replacement NGW100 to replace the one I borked.
That was a expensive mistake. :(

I've got it successfully modded so it can now be USB powered. :)
There is a convenient hole next to the USB port which is the USB's 5v rail.
You just need to run a wire from there to the positive pin of the power supply, next to the double set of IO pins.

I put a diode in place as well so I can swap power supplies on the fly and 12v cant go and fry the USB port. ;)
I also put some heatshrink over it to make it look professional and reduce the chances of shorts.
Its a dead simple mod to make and its pretty useful.

I'll be posting pics as soon as I can make my card reader work.

Now if only I could build a toolchain successfully. :(
