Not really sure where to post this. It's not really a radio, but it is a wireless device.
I need to power a device ~50' away from any AC. It came with a 5V, 2A wall wart. I have 22AWG wire run the distance, but it doesn't seem to be making the trip. Device gets power enough to light the 'power on' LED, but not enough to operate.
What do I need to do to get 5V and at least 1.5A at the device? Higher current PS? Larger wire? Higher voltage PS with a 5V regulator at the device?
At one time I had a vague familiarity with Ohm's Law, but that was decades ago.
