Hey so I'm making a Virtual reality head mounted display and the LCD driver board says it needs 2A. I bought the right power source but the problem is it has to be plugged into a wall. For convenience I'd like to be able to plug the HMD into my PC when I use it because it will already be plugged in there for a video signal. While picking things up from radio shack today I saw they had both USB adapters and the plug I need to power the LCD driver board which made me wonder if I could make my own power cable that plugged into my PC but I need some help and have a few questions.
1. Is my PC capable of supplying 2A to my display? I just built my computer and it has a nice power supply but I've heard USB ports only deliver 1A or so. Is cheaping out on the amps a big problem? Would there be any way to create a parallel circuit that drew amps from 2 USB ports to power the display?
This is the display I bought - http://www.amazon.com/Tontec%C2%AE-Raspberry-Display-AT070TN90-Controller/dp/B00G60FJNG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=143328730… - Mine does have a higher resolution though.
2. If step one is possible what kind of wire would I need for this cable between the USB port(s)?
Thank you for any help!
