gpo help...

I'm not an electrician - infact I know virtually nothing about electronics - but I would like help with my gpo's...

could someone be kind enough to spell out (and feel free to treat me like a 2 year old child!) what I need to make my GPO's power fans and cold cathode tubes? :)

I would prefer to be able to buy something pre-made but I am willing to make something as long as it is relatively simple and fool proof. :wink:

I have a wide voltage vfd with a keypad.

oh yeah, I'm from the uk, so please don't refer to brand names (unless they're internationally available..)

Many thanks in advance!

Mike

I've got the BVK202A-4BR and LCDC. I don't need to know about software, 'cos that's pretty obvious... it's just the electronics I'm stumped with! :)

The only simpler way is to buy the LK204-25PC, which has enough oomph in its GPOs to do it without bolting on additional circuitry. Or one of the new models, which I don't know much about yet. ;)
