power supply question

Is the psu socket centre positive? couldn't see this info anywhere.

If I get a psu like this

2Amp, will the Yocto just take what it needs or do I need to find a 15v 1A supply. (having trouble finding one in the uk)

Thanks for help

Polarity doesn't matter here because it's alternating current (AC).
So what you want/need is an AC output.

I don't see what the output is?

This is one that e-licktronic poiints out:

But i think this has an American connection.

Maybe someone in the UK can help you further finding a good power supply.

Guess which one was my initial adapter during the build? :mrgreen:

I found a 17v 1000mA AC Adapter.
Could i use this, or will it damage the parts?
Will calibration/values be off.
I intend to use an internal power supply eventually, but will it do for the build?
I have a 15v 1000mA ringtransformer for when i'm done but i' don't feel comfortable having 230v lying around while building.
EDIT: I went ahead and connected the 17v adapter and it works.
The circuit regulates the output voltages nicely as i kinda expected.
