 | | AC adapter for RCX: Polarity is irrelevant —Bob Stern
| | | | I discovered that it doesn't matter what polarity voltage is supplied by an AC adapter connected to the RCX. Apparently, the power jack connects to a full wave bridge rectifier. In fact, it may work on pure AC. I notice it maintains power for a (...) (26 years ago, 22-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
