Re: [wiardgroup] Power supply question

Tommy,

I think you'll need more than a single power supply.  When I purchased 
my six module system plus New Controller earlier this year, Grant 
measured the current draw and found that the controller pushed things 
over the edge to the extent where he recommended two Blacet supplies. 
The six modules drew a peak of 475 mA from the +15V supply with all 
lights on, and the controller drew another 125 mA.  I believe the PS500 
supplies +15V @ 500mA.

Hope this helps.

George
