I started makin' a Vu meter from a kit and want to hook a RC female plug to power the unit w/ a 9.6Nimh and Duel RCA stereo cable on the in1, in2, and ground pins. I hacked off the ends of the RCA plugs and have to shielded wires both surrounded by wire and I am assuming the surrounding wire is ground and the two sheilded wires are left and right. I hooked up my VU board like so and the unit started to smoke so I unplugged my 9.6 voltNimh and I am assumin' I have cross wirin' goin' on and needs to be corrected. Any input or experiences w/ such would be very helpful and I would be grateful. Thanks again.
Peace
