Power Supplies - madBeavis/PimpMyAtv GitHub Wiki

A more involved and DIY method of powering a set of ATV would be to use a power supply. You would need to get the power to the devices from the power supply, with terminal blocks being one among a myriad of options. One cabling option is to use pigtails, with a link to connectors if you want to do your own wires.

ATVs may require different voltages. Do check the power supply that comes with the devices. For s912 based ATVs, some have 5v and some 12v bricks.

Some knowns voltages/devices are as follows:

5v
- x96 mini 2/16
- a95x f1 2/16
- u2c s912 3/16

The tannix tx9s has apparently come with 5v and 12v power bricks.

12v
- ihomelife s912, verified by Beavis
- tx9s s912 2/8, verified by Beavis, Stuck7Throttle, ExplodingBanana, krzthehunter and others
- Several accomplished users have reported being able to run tx9s provided with 12v brick via barrel on 5v as it appears that there is internal voltage stepdown from 12v to 5 (note to those inclined, could run a few leveling tests, frequency checks and/or temperature checks)

There are some options for powering ATVs, depending on your build. Some standalone voltage specific PSUs are linked below, with 5v and 12v being options.

Depending on your situation, you could consider a standard computer PSU. For the 5v ATV folks, pay close attention to the specifications on the 5v rail. It wouldn't make sense to commit to a 900w computer PSU to get all the 5v you need, when a basic 5v PSU at 200w can do your system - you will just be wasting energy after you bought an over priced item. There also comes the fun of figuring out how much juice you get off the rail(s), consult your manual.
