@dragon well nothing would get fried haha, the resistors aren't for power limiting but to signal the charger "hey this is a normal 5v receiver"
without that (some) chargers will refuse to give any power, or when connected wrongly (like the raspberry pi folks did..) be detected as an audio adaptor for example
@f0x oh thanks for clarifying I still have much to learn and my highschool physics classes are fading away lol
@f0x oh thats great to know, bookmarked this thanks a lot, I figured I'd fry something if I tried to charge a mouse with a laptop charger without some kind of resistor lol
