It will have a USB connector serving 5V at 1A, also distributing  
power.  I suppose I could repurpose another for this connector, but  
I'm really trying to save "confusion" and idiot-proof it.  I'm not  
the intended audience for the device.  I want the "you have to set  
your voltage/amp" switch to be the only "complicated" bit.
