Re: Looking for an qualified USA/Canada distributor (RADDS-32-Bit Electronic)
Hi Alvin, You can plug RADDS v1.1 without any Change to The Arduino DUE and UDOO Quad. I think also with RAMPS-FD you can make it. Please read The UDOO manual for More Information (Jumper J18)....

A motherboard usb has some sort of short circuit protection, a current limit (i think in range 1A or less), and if the load wants to draw more than that it gets disconnected instead. A usb hub...
View ArticleRe: Wire thickness
The current rating depends on the cross-section of the conductive area. It does not matter if its round, square or oval. Just the conductive area, like in mm^2 (squared). If it has a hole in it, that...
