power supply for M$ sidewinder

[daywane]

I tried every thing else.
no help there.   I need some one to look at there power supply to the microsoft force feedback steering wheel.
what is the voltage. Mine is mixed with a bunch of other power supplies in a box.
wife and kids tossed all my stuff in a box and thought this was a good thing

I had labeled all power supplies once but they did not stick well.

I don't have a steering wheel, but I have the MS Sidewinder flight stick (force feedback).  The power supply for it is huge and heavy.  If its simialr to the wheel's PS, it should be easy to pick out.

On a side note, I started marking my power supplies with a silver sharpie, and it might be the smartest thing I've ever done.  (I know, I left myself open with that statement )

Thanks a bunch

looks like it will also have to give quite a bit of current, too (1.3 amps is pretty high, good luck)

Rich man just go and buy a proper power supply from microsoft.

If you want to be cheap then the best way is to use a computer
power supply.PC power supplies are regulated,switching power supplies and they will provide you pure DC 12 Volts,that is very clean power.you could use an old pc power supply like 100 watts.
You may also need a help of an electronic technision for practical work,otherwise you will kill your equipment.

Note that the Moderen ATX power supplies are 300 watts which means AC 110/220 volts to DC 12 Volts converter with total
20 Ampere.

yes 1.3 Amps is too much current.

Can a arcade power supply work?
I have several of em.
I also have a few old AT power supplies
Funny thing, If some asked were to get !2 volts I would have been poping in and saying hay 12 volt is EZ to get. blah, blah blah.

now I need the 12 volts I never even thought of the AT PC power supplies
