That's a good cheap option, but for me the most convenient way to power it is with USB-C. I just use the same 60W USB-C PD power block and beefy USB-C cable that I carry in my bag anyways. The cable is also much more flexible than the ones with the barrel jack I've used before, so it is easier to hold and control while soldering.
- Havoc 3y agoYes there is much to be said for PD. I mention it purely to facilitate budget conscious entry: Pinecil + existing brick: 26 USD Pinecil + Gan charger: 50ish on a good day Plus headroom - the old charger I've got is 120W rated. For most people your suggestion makes more sense, but I'd like to spread awareness of the alternative too. Saves money. Saves ewaste.
