[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 1161446, member: 243342"] Likely 12v is what it needs. It doesn't really matter if needs 9v instead as it'll have a voltage regulator to take care of it. You also need to guess polarity but assume that the centre pin is positive. One thing I've found in the past is that receivers need beefy PSUs, especially if driving a motor. A 500mA PSU won't cut it. Old Dreamboxes needed a 3A rated PSU. Even a 2A one wouldn't work reliably - it just randomly rebooted. [/QUOTE]
