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

[James R. Pilgram]

I like this one because of the connector for the pi already there.

I have used a bunch of these for Beaglebone Blacks here...

 I'm not a big fan of Andreson powerpoles. Here in Hawaii, Corosion is a
big problem and they just don't perform over the long-haul.
