Mod edit: snipped image of Transformerless PSU
Hi all, I'm trying to build this and was wondering two questions:
1) Which way does the positive end of the 2 capacitors face in the Diagram? Towards the alligator clips or towards the AC line cord. Physically. They are not marked.
2) Also, do you think the push button switch momentary or not?
3) The neon light doesnt work in the test one I'm building. But I have a 105v to 125 v ac/dc lamp. Maybe I should have bought one with a lower voltage rating. What do you think?
4) What should the output at the alligator clips be?
5) I have the diode but was wondering about the polarity of the caps. Does it make a difference which way they are connected?
Thank you. Any help with any of the questions above would be very much appreciated.
