Yes, I always connect the center pin green ground lead to the metal case, along with the DC ground connections. It's probably a good idea to ground the transformer case also, but sometimes not as easy to do and not necessary. If you don't ahd have hum problems, then try it and se

I'm sure lots of folks will have lots to say about this... but let me just ask a question of you first. When you say "ground from the 100 VAC" do you mean "ground" or "neutral". i.e. Are you using a 3-pronged-ground-lug plug, or the more conventional two-pronged plug, which has n

Hummm, it's a problem becose you have a big Vcc to get down to 24Vcc, the angle of the square signal is too small i'm think. Other solution is use a transformer and modulate the input of this to obtain the 24Vcc. Why don't use a power souce from a Tv or VCR? that power sources do
