Hi,
Seven VA stands for 7 volt-ampere. To arrive at the ma/A rating divide 7
VA by
10 Volts. In this case it will be 700 ma ( 0.7 Amp).
I do not have the mindstorm, neither have I tried the 9 Volt adapter but
in general a 9 volt adapter should work. If you want a specific 10 V
adapter and do not mind doing some electronics work you can buy a 12
volt adapter, cut the positive 12 V supply cable and insert 3 diodes (
Type 1N4001 Silicon) in series. They will give you approx. 2 volt drop.(
.7 x 3)
+ from PA ---------------|>|---|>|----|>|-------------------- + to RIS
0 from PA --------------------------------------------------- 0 to RIS
regards
-Rahul

| I just got a second RIS, this one is the RIS 1.0 with the power adapter input. I tried to find that AC adapter on S@H , but couldn't find it. There is not even any info about it in the RIS 1.0 itself. All the info I found was, that I need a 10V 7VA (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
