School project- convert to battery
I am working on a project for school and I want to convert my wifi extender that I plug into the wall to a portable battery powered device. I can not find anything on the subject. I can not even find...
Then open the unit find the point where 120V AC is converted to DC voltage.
One is pos(+) , the other one is neg.(-) If possible getting a copy of schematic
is best but if it is not possible, you can draw out schematics reading the PCB
traces and silk screen. Most likely it is 12V DC.
Thank you for your reply,
I can and have opened it up. My goal is to extend wifi in a field where my other team/classmates will control a robot by remote. I only need it to work about an hour and I can use an external battery. I was hoping to use a usb battery to power the device.Part of the rules are that we have to use what we have. In other words I can't go buy a battery powered extender. would it help if I send pictures of the two boards inside?
