Re:

Wow.. More helpful info, but now I've got a couple of more questions. If this gets overwelming
let me know. First, is there a schematic for assembling a 20 amp supply from DanM's transformers.
I went to his site and these parts see to be part of the servo description. Do I need any other parts
from DanM site (or better yet is there anything else I can use.. short of time, longer on credit cards
(bg)). Is there a super overschematic? Electrical stuff kinda baffles me, but I'm a good robot!

TIA... to the "chips"
