I've got a battery powered peripheral (FM Transmitter) that I'd like to power
from USB.
I know that USB puts out 5v, and that a "Double A" batter puts out 1.2 v,
and assume that two would put out the same.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to make my little project? I
have a soldering gun, and can use it, but need an idea of what kind of parts
to put in between.
Also, is there any danger that dicking around with a USB cable like this
could cause corruption elsewhere in the USB bus?
