Igaging DRO power supply

[Chris Hamel]

Not quite sure if this is the best place to post this but what the heck. My Igaging DROs came with an input for an external power supply. I never looked into it because I thought the lithium batteries weren't all that expensive. But all you have to do is forget turn them off a few times and suddenly you're replacing batteries. I tried to find info from Igaging on the power supply specs but didn't have success. On Amazon, I found an Igaging power supply which used an USB wall wort. At about $21, it was a bit pricey. I ordered one anyway. Here's the thing, any USB transformer/ charger will work, you just need the right cable. I found a pack of three cables for 9.99 on Amazon. Link below.

I bought a power supply for my 3 Igaging DROs, it supplies all 3 , just tried to find it again on eBay but no luck,I think you'd be better off to buy 3 separate PSs that feeds each dro separately instead of one supplying to all three,, the Igaging DROs that I have seem to be way too sensitive to the slightest voltage fluctuation and get jumpy/give ridiculously high readings, I now run one dro with batteries and the other two with the power supply, the two DROs powered by the PS seem to be more stable.

I had the external power supply at one time, one for each axis and when I plugged them in the DRO's went stupid.

Anytime tools on the bay has the triple output.

The cabling may pick up electrical noise compared to running on batteries- and having a VFD in the vicinity is almost guaranteed to
cause some noise both thru the power line and directly thru the air
Some folks have had success adding small filter capacitors on the dro power inputs or sometimes ferrite snap-on filters on the cables
