Hay guys 
I'm puting in a order at Futurlec.  I want to get some DC power adapters.  I looked at the data sheet for the propeller board and it does not give to size of the power adapter (2.1mm, 2.5mm, etc..)  Does anyone know what the correct size is?  Is it the same for the ardunio and raspberry PI?

thanks
Rod

Rod,

Wow, they seemed to have really dumbed down product details.

I'm 99% sure that it's the 2.1mm. IIRC the 2.5mm will work but the fit
is sloppy.

YA,
I found the ardunio and raspPI and they are 2.1mm.  I found a reference to antoher parralex board that said 2.1mm.  I also found a blog that said that a 2.1mm will work in a 2.5mm jack, but not visa-versa.

So i'm going to order some 2.1mm adapters.

thanks
