Hello everyone,
I'm just curious about everyones preferences about on board or off board power supplies. I've been working on a few projects and I would like all of them to be able to run without a wall wart. Essentially they are wall socket replacements that add features like power monitoring or automatically turning on or off the socket. Obviously there is already wall power running right next to the devices and it seems silly to power it from some alternative DC supply and then have to change the batteries when it gets low.
I'm also wondering if anyone has experimented with prefab on board power supplies (I.E. PBK-1-5 CUI Inc | 102-3101-ND | DigiKey ). Last question is it difficult to get a product that lives inside a wall and has and AC DC power converter certified for sell in the US?
Thanks!
