It works…

2006 Honda CR-V Head Unit, Honda Music Link, and Battery Charger

Well, that works. I had no problem supplying the head unit there on ~500mA, and per the meter it only maxed at just about 1.1A on startup. So, I’ve got no idea why the Skynet supply used earlier didn’t work. I’m thinking it was not able to deal with the inrush, so the next thing I’m going to try is to put a switch on the 12V line for the keyed power, starting it up in stages, as is normally done in a car.

That battery charger was only $32 at Meijer, so if I really need to keep it I can, but still… If I do, I’ll probably add some banana jacks to the back or something. At least this stage is almost set and I can get on to building the logic analyzer. Well, only after I get the headphone amp working reliably…
