Dolby Pro Logic II also decodes 5 channels from stereo signals encoded in traditional four-channel Dolby Surround. DPL II implements greatly enhanced steering compared to DPL, and as a result, offers an exceptionally stable sound field that simulates 5 channel surround sound. """

*** STUFF NEEDED !
The space needs cool stuff. A lot of stuff is more difficult to find, or is more expensive on the islands than in the mainland.
Please bring stuff to leave in the space.
If possible, organise a collect mission from your local hackerspace.:
Take an extra 20kg luggage case?
Usually, bigger spaces have a lot of stuff to share they don't need, but might be useful to CHT.
If you have good ordering / supply option, the space would buy stuff off you:
Support for covering the extra flight baggage is possible too.
See → 🔗ordering for list !

This was a fuckup as it's only Buck (down), not also Boost (up voltage) :'(

Except if you see any reason to get DPS5005 (has 50V instead of 30V top... but I don't know if that's really needed, except if you have some idea for the slightly higher V).
