Power Supply Board +/- (Gnd)
To power the board, I have 2 power packs, they are identical.
Switching mode, adjustable voltage, 1 Amp max.
This is a rather clever trick I discovered from the world of synth DIY. It's probably basic for those that know electronics but, to say I'm a newbie/rookie is the understatement of the century!
You set both packs to the same output, then you connect the positive of one supply to the negative of the second supply.

From this you run crocodile clips, the green lead gives you a reference ground, the white lead from supply 1 gives you a negative voltage and the yellow lead gives you a positive voltage.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
Make sure you have transformer isolated power packs and/or packs that are not directly connected to ground earth.
This is a necessary method of powering certain IC chips.
(I'm still amazed by all the wizardry so forgive the excitement!)
This will be made in a safer format using a pair of jack sockets for the power packs, some banana type sockets and a switch!
