<title>getting +5v to power an usb hub</title>
<description> Hi there!
I need to connect 4 mics and a webcam...but my usb hub needs to be powered
Since i would use my hubs (i&amp;#039;ve 5 of them unused!!!) and they needs to be powered by +5v, I would get +5v directly from the inside of the wii (don&amp;#039;t wanna use external power!!!!!!).
Is there a way to get +5v from the wii board?
I can solder very well, but my knowledge about electronic is very poor :P

Any idea? (pictures of teh board where to get +5v would be great....)

Many thanks!</description><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?7,68816,68816#msg-68816</link><lastBuildDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:27:16 +0200</lastBuildDate>
