Hey everyone,
I have a question.
I have a bunch of crap around that I use: two HDD docking stations, a powerbank, a CCTV cam, a few microcontrollers.
They all consume either 5V or 12V. I'm a bit weary of having a web of wires and a bunch of wall warts everywhere.
I have an older but functional and recently cleaned Chieftec 450W - I know I could make a bench supply out of it, but my question is:
Is it okay to mix numerous devices, some with their own internal buck regulators, some WiFi-enabled, on rails from 1 PSU? Assuming the Amperage is there.
