RE: [motm] New Power Supply Discussion
2000-04-13 by Dave Bradley
Me too. I opted for a heavier PowerOne (bought it from DigiKey) that puts out not quite double the current of the MOTM 900, because I'm powering close to 30 modules with it. It just mounts in the back and takes up no panel space at all. I order the 12 connector power distribution boards from Paul as my module complement grows, and have 3 of them in my cabinet now. Someday Paul will get caught up with module development, and will possibly offer his own wood cabinet and a power supply packaged for that purpose, but for now you can diy. Caveat: you should be a good enough solderer to be confident soldering cables that will carry 120V AC. Screw this up and you'll blow a breaker, get shocked, or maybe see some smoke. Moe
