    Default power adapter for k149d?

    Hey all,

    I've got some pics and a k149d programmer kit from kitsrus, and I'm trying to start experimenting with it. I'm hung up on a bit of a noob rock, however: I don't know what power adapter I should use with this thing. A 16vdc power adapter is required for the programmer, so I ordered this one:

    Well, apparently, (sigh) I got the wrong one because it won't plug into the programmer. Could somebody help a noob out here by suggesting a power adapter that will work with this programmer?

    much thanks

    if it's just the plug that cause the problem... you could
    1. change the plug of the transformer
    OR
    2. change the plug of your programmer
    OR
    3.Solder directly the transformer wires to the programmer PCB

    in all cases be carefull to not revert the + and -

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Thanks for the response

    Yes, that's right. The plug does seem to be the problem. The thing is: I don't know what plug I should use. It wants 16vdc, so I got that. When it didn't fit, I said, well that's fine, I'll just find one that does fit. Looking at the stores online, 2.1mm for the center pin and 5.5mm for the outer cylinder seems to be the standard for 16vdc power adapters. So I just don't know what size I'm supposed to be looking for.

    Incidentally, I'm not really sure if it's too small or too big! It looks like it should fit, but it just doesn't!

    Thanks again!
