I was just wondering this as I might have to make another order with tangent.
Basically a regulated 24V DC plug pack is fairly expensive, even at a trade price through my dad or mate.
A TREAD or STEPS would be even more expensive but seem like a better option in regards to giving a cleaner power supply and a lot more flexibility.
Opinions anyone ?
While I'm at it, stupid as this question may seem, what are the main differences between the TREAD and STEPS... ?
From what I can tell TREAD is a little stripped down with less filtering and without an on-board toroidal transformer.
Also thought I might slip in this last question at the end, is the TREAD more complicated than basic designs because it's adjustable or that the TREAD is just better designed and adjustable?
like so: http://www.jaycar.com.au/products_up...Large_5705.jpg
I'll stick up the schematic if I can find it but it's really simple anyway.
I know that's a +-15v but consider two TREADs then or cut that in half and compare it to a TREAD.
Sorry if some of this sounds noobish but I'm still not too great at the whole theory thing... good at the burning my hands part though.
