DiabloSport Predator Power Supply and/or USB - Serial Cable

[Immo]

I was told that the USB Serial Cable provides power to the DiabloSport Predator. If so do I need a Power Supply? If I need a power Supply, can anyone tell me what the end type is?

I guess I do need power...

the Serial cable does not provide power..





go to Radio shack and get a 12 volt 1 amp (1000 milliamp) power supply and a 2.5mm tip...

you will need a power supply.



i bought mine from Radio Shack (part number 273-0029) and you'll need tip adapter for the power supply (part number 273-1717).

The USB cable connects from the Predator to your computer. A separate power supply will be needed if you are going to do some "off-line" work, downloading updates, sending files etc, with the Predator and your laptop, for instance.

The Class 2 transformer you will need is:
Input: 120VAC 60Hz 9w
Output: 9VDC 600mA

CIDCO model #: SPA - 4180 - 65, PART # 105884-01 is one version you could buy.

Edit: Just saw your post above. You won't need a tip adaptor with the model I describe.
