Yes...A micro DUAL voltage power supply...Hmmmm ???? Well....you May NOT find one with both 5VDC and 12VDC....BUT...they sell very small adjustable units...SO....you may have to compromise...and buy two (2) micro VDC converters......and fix them to a common Ally plate....and then bolt that to whatever flat area you can. Set one for 5VDC....and the other for 12VDC.
I am a fan of two(2) things...
1) Off the shelf components.
2) Modularity.
To me...
Off the shelf means you can get maybe 90% of what you need....and modify the rest to fit your demands.
Modularity....well...this helps in building and later in upgrading/servicing. Sometimes...in a complex build...as this will be.....Modularity gives you the option to redesign on the fly....or fix a screw up. !!! I have experienced BOTH...more times than I will ever admit !!!
Good luck !! Keep us posted as you go....I will chime in with a verbose amount of Blah, Blah....No extra charge !!!
OH....and go slow....real slow....We will be watching and cheering you on !!!
