hi all, if you didntnotice i am building a small portable solar power system. allmost all my gadgets are usb that i want to run from it so i am looking for the most efficient way to convert 12v into 5v. it would be nice to have that 5v at 2a or more to run multiple devices at the same time. can anyone help? i think i am looking for a switching type unit not a linear one as i have little power to waste.
