solved the pass through problem for myself and possibly for you

[timothymass]

have you been worried about plugging in your usb passthrough into your computer in fear of over powering your usb port. Have you had trouble finding a wall plug in usb adapter over 1 amp. I think I found a solution but to do this your going to have to have a fundemental knowledge of electronics a fore warning wire this wrong and youll have a dead computer !!!!!!!!!!! So lets get to it I was in the same boat so I started to do some searching and remembered that a molex 4 pin adapter in most every computer has a 5v connection with 5 amps so went out and got a usb connecter then went forth by cutting off the plug that would normally go in to your motherboard as a transfer hub. I then blocked off all the unused wire with black tape the wires you will are the red (5v+) line and the black (ground) line then I soldered the points to the molex adapter also to the red and use the black line directly next to the red dont connect it to the yellow line as its 12v+.I just used a molex adapter i had laying around and vaula safe 5v vaping through a passthrough at home. I stress this again dont do this if you dont know what your doing. I know it looks a little rigged up but I used quite a bit of to tape to safely protect against shorting out. There is probably a better way to do this but I wanted to see if it would work as I thought it would. Hope this helped someone out there

let me know what you think

I'm not sure I understand.
Do you mean, You are running your pass through directly from a MOLEX from the power supply on a desk top computer instead of off a USB port off your motherboard?
That makes sense., or use a wall wart.

You next ideal step would be to mount the molex connector into a blank front panel so you can just "plug in" whenever your're at the computer. You may have done this already but I couldn't tell from the photos.

Great idea and plenty of "amps" to spare!

no i have a usb connector here ill show you a picture it has two usb ports on it. I then wired the adapter to the molex 4-pin connector in my computer and vaula 5v vaping with 5 amps backing it here is an adapter you could use http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&cm_re=usb_connector\-_-15-158-163-_-Product:)
and here is a molex adapter that you can connect it to

then you just plug it in to a female molex adapter in your computer and plug you pt into the usb port simple but effective.

Thanks the puck yea I was planning on sprucing it up later with heat shrink and mounting it inside the computer I just wanted to get it together quickly to see how it would work thanks for your help. Sorry if the pictures are a little rough im workin with what ive got.
