The people who i bought my driver board offer a schematic for a power supply which many users seem to build with good results. I am somewhat of a newb when it comes to the electronics dept. So is this a pheasable project? And if so, where do i get all of these things.
Here is a list of the stuff:
1. 35,000uf MINIMUM 50vDC capacitor
2. Bleed Resistor @2k 1W
3. 35A 600V Bridge Rectifier
4. 20-28VAC 10A transformer
5. DPST switch (is this a regular switch like you have at radioshack? I have plenty of these i have installed).
6. Fuse 4Amp (familiar with these, and have plenty.)
7. Small Prong on Plug, Large Prong on plug (is this just the plug in cord).
Thankyou to all who give helpful replies
Not much of a power supply... the DC will have lots of ripple in it and there is no regulation. You basically have a full wave recifier with a capacitor as your filter.
Any large current draw will make your DC very "noisy."
