Re: PowerStation Ver 2 PCB & Kits Now Available
You mention on the website that 2 AMPs is available by adding an additional 4 Diodes. Are these marked on the circuit board or is it something that has to be rigged up externally? Is this 2 Amps split among all 4 rails or for each set of 2? On mine I just put 1N4007 everywhere they were called for on the board. Thanks.

I asked Joe the same question and copied below is his reply.
"In the centre of the AC/DC with the regs away from you. If you
double the 4 diodes to the right (solder a second diode across the diode
under the PCB) it will make the diodes 2Amp so you can get the max of
1.5amps out of the regs but you will need a large heatsink on all regs to
get to 1.5amp.
[If]...you have a powerstation ver 3... all you need to
do is leave off the D1 to D4 and fit a 4A to 6A bridge rectifier so all regs
can get to 1.5amp."
Hope this helps.

Hey Joe,
What's the easiest way to turn the 48volt rail into a lower voltage rail for signal/relay/LED stuff? Say something like 5-15volt?

To disable the Doubler/Tripler on normal 48v rail replace C1 & C2 with wire links and strap D to centre pad and adjust to the voltage you need.conleycd wrote:Hey Joe,
