Subject: | Re: Panel mounted USB power ports for Apple devices? |
I have both a phone (an LG) and a tablet (a Nexus 7) that I use
in my plane. They both came with the cig lighter adapters for
the power supply...and both had USB ports in the adapters instead
of a cable connection for the device. The tablet's unit had the
higher available output current, so I dismantled the case and
removed the circuit board. I mounted the circuit board on the
forward side of the instrument panel with a hole through the IP
big enough to accept the USB plug from the devices. I only have
the one port, but I never need to use the two devices at the same
time...I only need it to charge the devices, so I can use either
one without being plugged in.
I can't remember how I mounted the circuit board to the IP, but
I'll take some pictures the next time I'm at the hangar if anyone
is interested.

You cannot ignore DX.Com who sells these for $1.99 with FREE Airfreight Shipping.
Search Ipod Adapter. They also have a large number of user-reviewed similar
devices.
How anyone can sell and ship these for $1.99 is a mystery, but they do.
While you're at it grab the LED flashlights. Don't cheap-out on these. The cheap
ones are good, the more expensive ones are astonishing.

Icom and their vendors state that the A210 com radio is a slide in
replacement for the A200 as long as you are not using the built in
intercom. However the A210 also outputs rs232 data on pin 1 of the card
edge connector and that pin is grounded to make the panel light work on
the A200. I can spend a lot of time trying to disconnect that pin and
hope nothing else gets interfered with in the tight space behind my
panel but I've been trying to determine if leaving that pin grounded
will actually harm the data output circuitry on the A210? I'm not likely
to ever use the data output but if someone knows that there is little
risk of leaving it grounded, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.
thanks
