as Brian Foster said, it depends on what you wnat
todo, what the spec of the power source and what the

converter, if is just a one off.... but youll need
some form of a multi meter.
a few suppiliers to check, all on line, for both
projects and prebuilt products
maplin.co.uk (in dublin, and blanch)
