Evening all,
I'm wondering if it's possible to power a picaxe from a model railway style DCC supply?
If you're unfamiliar, a DCC supply is a variable square wave DC supply, rapidly switching between - 15-17V to + 15-17V (dependant on controller).
If it were a simple DC supply, I obviously wouldn't hesitate in simply adding a voltage regulator and smoothing transistors to the circuitry, but it being a square wave, would this work...? Unfortunately, when it comes to power supply circuitry I'm almost completely stumped
Cheers in advance
