[sdiy] Gorf prototype Video

[Dave Manley]

FWIW, I haven't tried to run a 7805 off a wall-wart, but a datasheet I 
looked out suggested the input cap was required if the regulator input 
was a large distance from the supply's output cap.  It seems like this 
is the case with a wall-wart, and of course, wall-warts vary, so one 
might work, while another doesn't.
