Title: n00b questions about ac/dc, power supplies, wall worts, and the meaning of life
Post by: Krispy D on July 20, 2005, 12:12:47 AM
Total newb to external power trying to figure this out...

can I power anything that I can plug into as long as I have a plug, a big enough battery and a wall mart voltage regulator?  where does ac and dc come into play? how bout splicing into wal warts?  why can I plug dc stuff (jb3) into the wall when that is ac?   

sorry for multiple ???'s just trying to get it.

here's the senario...  currently running mk012-->ps2-->jb3.  I want to go digital in but can't afford the ua5 or at least ad 20 I want so I've been looking at cheap used ad converters but they all use wall worts and say ac in.  can I diy some power for this stuff?  How bout that ua 5 anyway...  is'nt usb power ac?   

ye gads...thanks for listening!
