Hi guys,
Simple question. I have two devices that I'm trying to power with a 12V 3.3a external power supply:
-12V LCD panel that the manufacturer states consumes 20W during normal operation
-5V board which the manufacturer states consumes 1-1.5a during normal operation
I've never had to step down voltages before. Could I just use the Adafruit UBEC DC/DC Step-Down for the job? Would I need to do anything else?
Thanks!

That should work. Remember to tie your grounds together for proper communications between devices.
