Re: A 12V *AC* power supply

I would expect it to work with 12VDC. It's unlikely that they run it through a transformer, and probably just rectify it, in which case you'll drop a volt or so. If it doesn't work the first time you hook it up, reverse the polarity. Worst case, they run the 12VAC directly into a switching pow

Re: OT: should I move my domain to GoDaddy?

While not technical, I left them for the following two reasons: 1. I found GoDaddy's usage of an attractive woman in their advertising, calling her the "GoDaddy Girl", offensive. 2. GoDaddy very aggressively encouraged me to purchase more services. With every purchase I made, I had to wade th

I'd love to know if the Arduino IDE and FTDI USB serial port drivers function properly. Do you have an Arduino, or can you borrow one from someone to test? Of course the first part (Arduino IDE) can be downloaded for free and tested. IIRC Ubuntu 9.04 includes the FTDI driver already. Thanks
