That's what they say whenever they don't understand what you are talking
about
(which is almost all of the time.) Their AC adapters put out 12VDC. Fine.
You
will need to supply 12VDC, but they just MIGHT work on 9VDC, and

never hurt anything of this nature. Just make sure you get the power
polarity
correct, it ain't a LEGO product and it isn't guarded against it!

| (...) Have you seen the NEW X-10 camera? the Xcam2 (or GigaCam as it was known for a short time) It's camera and sender all in one VERY small package. I'm wondering if the power req's are smaller too. Dean (24 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
