HowTo: Modified 128 Channel Hill controller with 6 channel remote outlets  (anthony childers)



Step 3 : Hack your desktop

 
I needed the 5 volts to be removable so I used 18 gauge wire and found a disk drive power y-adapter at Radioshack clearanced for $1.97. I used the male and tied the 5 volt positive (RED) to the silver screw(neutral) of a replacement receptical plug, and the negative (BLACK) to the groung or green screw. Now I can move the controller 200 foot away from the computer and use a regular 3 prong cord.(distance may be further, I havent experimented with that much yet.)
