2) Do you know how to used test pen??( dont ketawakan me about this..he he)

Hombrew Power supply

I have tried to used new kind of power supply. Those power supply normally used in PLC or industries. Where sometimes they call as switching power supply. This model having range from the smallest one to the biggest. I have used the medium one that come with 100Watt, 8 Ampere, and 12Volt. The good about it the power output are adjustable maximum to the 13.5 Watt(used digital multimeter).

step 1. Get this unit from any power supply supplier..the cost is around RM80, depends on models

step 2. make some wiring( 1 life, 1 neutral, 1 earth for the AC input and another life and neutral for the DC Output)

step 3. Now the power is ready to supply the current for your rig

final. just tap all the related wire to the standard input and output.

Try your best..
