You require 5V power supply for most of the microcontrollers or development boards like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PIC and others and ARM chips. You can use a portable battery if you want to make your project mobile but if mobility is not an issue you have to power your device to the most readily available power source which is your wall socket. The AC power flowing in the wall socket can not be directly used by your project hence you will need an AC to DC converter module which will convert the AC power to he DC power to be supplied to the project. If you want a reliable, low weight and sturdy solution which you can use to power the device, you can opt for Hi Link - HLK PM05L - 5V/5W Open Frame SMPS Module - AC to DC Converter which have maximum power output of 5W which is more than enough to power the development boards requiring 5V power supply.
