Not easy to do, wires all over the place. How do you know where to solder wires ? One wrong connection and POOF ! And many of us don't have that nice power supply either. FYI
I see what you mean about the wires. I'll try to add a wiring diagram at the beginning of the video. I promise it's not as hard as I make it. As for the power supply, this will work just as easily with a lead battery, I just like my power supply since it shows both the operating voltages and the current draw without the extra volt meters and wires. 😉
I have many power supplies from older computers. I have isolated the wires and can get 3.3 vdc 5 vdc , 12vdc, from them. Can I use one of these voltages to power this up ? Thanks.
