Good morning
I have recently become involved in a project where a microcontroller was going to switch number of sequential outputs from one or two inputs.
we are using Picaxe 08M2 and 14M2chips for the project.
Anyway, the question of the power supply came up, and I suggested we use a DC socket on the board (our own homebrew design, which works remarkably well on the bench) to supply power. The ideas guy came back and said no, he wanted a screw terminal type unit.
I thought I might place a bridge rectifier on the power supply input to proof the power supply correction against incorrect hook up.
So my question is: Will that work, or do I need to try something different?
Any thoughts?
