    Hi Yeo,
    setting up my Mojo2 and have a few questions,
    1 - what is the approximate current draw with full complement of regs ?,
    2 - the PH 5.4 reg has 3 legs but description on site says only connect O & G ?
    (I initially did not notice and connected all 3 but reg got very hot very quickly and I powered off and noted the above, so disconnected the "I" lead from reg PCB)
    3 - 12v Audioslave seems to be getting very hot and have only tried it with 18v in yet, bit wary of going to 24v as I intended.
    tks,
    Tony G

    hi tony

    not more than 100ma.

    paul made a mistake when building this batch. it's supposed to be just a shunt regulator but he included a ccs. so when you bypass the I, you bypass the ccs and use paul's ccs2 which is a much better ccs than the one onboard the 5v regulator.

    yes, it's quite hot. put a small heatsink on it. be careful that it doesn't touch anything else!

    Thanks Yeo,
    will put a heatsink on it then, I already noted that the back is live output.
    Will try a ram chip heatsink with sticky back.
    Sounding pretty darn good already.
    regards,
    Tony G
