This is my first post and I hope it is not too simple a request. I am an amateur astrophotographer and have a need for 5 (or more) 12v supplies to the back of my telescope and 1 (or more 5v) supplies. None of the instruments requires more than a couple of amps and the 5v supply would be for a USB hub. I am trying to reduce the number of power cables and USB cable running to the back of the scope.
I would like to run one 12v 10a line to a distribution box with fused connection to each of the 12v uses. I think a 10amp source would be adequate as not all of the uses would be required at the same time. I am more than willing to break out the soldering iron and I think I know how to do the 12v distribution using blocks and fuses but how would I down sample to get the 5 volts?
Please be gentle!
