Hi everyone,

I am thinking of getting an A20 but have so far been unable to see a suitable Power Adaptor for for the UK.

Does anyone have any recommendations on ebay/Amazon for a suitable adaptor?

Many thanks.

I use 12V for the A20. You can get something like this if you are looking for a basic power supply.

These are good for final build use but I prefer to use a current limiting bench supply for initial testing. The current limiting is great if you have a fault in the wiring as it stops things blowing up. They may be higher in price but think of the saving on blown up equipment :)

and this one is a pretty damn good deal.

Just make sure they it has adjustable and limited current settings.
