    Well that’s great news, thanks. Yeah most of my system is 12v, running off a big ole lithium battery which is charged by solar panels. I can do 220v via a 1000w inverter, sounds like this could run a steam machine. Food for thought! Though I’m kinda interested in the steam frame too, waiting to see what the prices are like.

      The funny thing is, those power bricks you plug into the AC outlet convert that back to DC and various voltages (including 12v).

      I’ve wondered for a while if we’ll start seeing more DC input electronics designed for setups like yours because there’s efficiency losses for both the DC -> AC step and the AC -> DC step.
