So WHAT do you have around that you could use? If you have a 9Vac
transformer with the correct current rating you could use that.

Remember to measure the voltage BEFORE connecting it to the STK500,
the no load voltage will be much higher, maybe up to 14Vac. A 12V TX
could be as high as 16Vac. So the regulator will get a little hot
but it should still be ok.

My personal preference (and others too) is a 9Vdc 1A regulated power
pack as it keeps things cooler with the STK500.
