about the power supply

[ladybug]

i m about to build the Midibox-Plus-8 (for a start),,,,,

if i build the power supply on a seperate board can i later use it for the MBHP ???

Yes, the power supplies for both are the same. If you decide to buy (or make) a printed circuit board for the Core module of the MBHP, you'd have to un-solder some components and move them to the new board.

No need to unsolder any parts if you built your PS on a seperate board, you can just connect the output wires of the power supply board to the core board after the point where the bridge rectifier sits. That way you dont need to stuff any of the PS parts (all the caps, rectifier and regulator sit on the PS board)

Takes up a bit more room but thats how mine is and it works good.
