Wiring webcam power to Duet 2 Maestro

[cjccjj]

Hello,

I want to connect a usb powered wifi webcam to the Duet 2 Maestro, so that it powers on and off along with the printer. The fan A is set to Vin which is 24v for my 24v fans, so I can't use the always on fan pins. Now the option is to set fan B to 5V and use it, but I understand fan B is a pwm pins I am not sure if it is good for the use that I set the pwm to 100%. The other option is to use the expansion pins, where I see 5V and Gnd pins available. The webcam is a tiny one but does feel a little warm when working, so I guess it need a little power but I don't know how much. What is the best way to wiring it?

Thank you
CJ

@cjccjj I suggest you use either the expansion connector pins or the PanelDue connector pins.
