Power supply for Happ perfect 360s besides computer?

Cut one end off.  Wire it up to the P360.  Plug the other end into the wall and voila...working joystick

Ginsu Victim:

I'm still wondering about the ipac question. It has 5v you can use, so why not that?

Other than that option, I just went to Goodwill and dug through the box of wall warts and found a 5v and a 12v for various cabinet needs.

I'll have mercy.

A 5 volt power supply will have 2 leads coming out of it, one positive and the other negative.  The individual transformer should have it labeled in some way.  If you're at all unsure you should go out and buy a Voltage-Ohm meter which can tell you how many volts and what polarity a supply has.  (If you're going to be working with electronics you should probably have one.  Even a cheap one is better than none.)

On the bottom of the P360 you'll see that there is are black and red wires coming off the board.  The red is labeled +5, and the black is labeled G (for ground).  The positive lead from the power supply connects to the +5, and the negative (or, more accurately, the ground) to the ground.  Easy as 3.141592653589793238462643383279...

Don't forget that the ground wire for the P360 will be serving as ground for 2 different circuits - the power supply, and the gaming unit.

Where on the ipac is the 5v part? I don't see it...

I think you are quoting Pi wrong.  3.14159265187963961....   

So I guess its not as easy is it?
