Subject: Re: Lib 100ct in Car
For the Lib, I cut the power cable about 6 inches from the powersupply end
and soldered a female 1/8 phone connector on the powersupply end and a male
1/8" phone connector on the Lib end. I then added a small 6" piece of cable
to the cig lighter connector where I soldered a 1/8" male connector as on on
the power supply. I always leave the cable plugged into the Lib and when I'm
home I just plug the other end into the Power supply and when on the road I
plug the cable into the cig lighter cable end. I can send a pict. if you
need one. I run both straight off the car battery. As for holding it. I just
bought a roll of Velcro with sticky tape on the back side and put a strip!
Please, Larry, please stop running your Lib directly off the car battery. I
know computers, I know cars, I know this to be bad. $40 is not a lot for a
proper adapter.
And by the way, 1/8" ( or any size ) phone plugs short out while being
inserted. A better choice would be a coax power plug, a 2 or 4 pin jones
plug, or a phonO plug.
