I bought one of these DAB radios today, but want to run it from a 12v supply in the camper. (Stupid long urls!)

This is what I need, I think, but where can I get one from in the UK?

From what I remember of my GCSE Electronics would suggest you need a Potential Divider.

Two resistors, total cost about three pence.

That only works if you also know how much current the radio takes, which will change 🙁

Looks like this sort of thing but you need to check the power raying

^^ or a voltage regulator if the output voltage is a bit more sensitive (12V from a car can be 14.4 on a good day, and quite messy)

That’s the ticket Leffeboy, cheers.
I have no idea what everyone else is talking about which is why that although thruppence is cheap enough I’m happy to pay a tenner for someone else to put it together. 😀

As above they only really work when you need to divide the voltage for something that takes no current and are fed from a fixed voltage supply.

I have used these buck converter boards for doing similar. Again you would need to check the required output current.

I can’t even buy the parts to make them in the uk for that price which is rather annoying…

I’ve a vague handle on electronics but I do so wish it was better. I’m not silly, but I follow a retro computing group on Facebook and the skill of the guys doing repairs on there just breaks my head.

Maplin sell the car adapters if you want to go in a shop.
