UK Power Supply for Phidgets LED64
I took the plunge and ordered the Phidgets LED 64 starter kit from "trossenrobotics". Unfortunately (silly me) it is on its way to me with a US 6V power supply. Can someone direct me to a suitable power supply for here in the UK (frightened of frying the board) - something from Maplin or Rapid Electronics or do I just need a UK plug with a US connection (to work with the US 6V adaptor supplied with the kit) as Maplin have?

I think the uk to us adapter would work as it is only the input voltage that has changed. But i'm not 100% sure.

when the PSU arrives look at its rated input voltage, if it says 100-240Vac its a switch mode supply so it will be ok.
Your best bet is actually take it into Maplin's and ask them to match it for you.
