I got a cheap 5V regulator at Radio Shack, and I'm using 8
rechargable AA batteries for the power. It's not too fancy.
I soldered in a switch so I can turn it on and off.
It's pretty simple, but like I said it runs fine until I try to plug
in the USB.
Do I need to go to some fancier battery component and regulator?
Thank you.
