Setting up the 3.3V DC PSU

With my PSU, first I had wire up the mains power cable. Any clover or kettle lead will do. Cut the end off (not the one that goes in the wall, but the kettle/clover connector). Strip the protection away by a decent length, then strip the wires inside so that a decent amount of copper is shown. Then wire up earth/live/neutral. This will vary according to what country you live in and/or the colour codes that your cable uses inside. Make sure to get this right, as a botched job - could result in extreme damage to you and your surroundings. Here's what mine looks like after wiring up - the power cable: images/x200/psu_power.jpg - also, make sure - that the plug (for the wall) has the correct fuse.

+ Make sure that the plug (for the wall) has the correct fuse. In my case I had a 240V wall socket, and the device says that it accepts 1.5A at that voltage, so I used the smallest fuse available (3A). For 110-120V the device says it needs 2.8A.
