[arm-allstar] Power Supply for Pi2 (or BBB)

[David McGough]

Hi Jim,

Yes, that basic DC-DC converter seems to work exceedingly well. I use the
same variety with leads and solder the 5V leads directly to the
boards--either the RPi2 or BBB. I put powerpoles on the input side and 
power from the radio/repeater 13.8V DC supply.

Here is what I'm using: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251564887056

I'll post some photos of a connected and operational setup, if anyone is 
interested.
