It may void your warranty,\nburn your house down or even leave hurtful comments on your latest social media posts.\n\nYou have been warned.\n\n## Getting started\n\nCheck out the [releases section](https://github.com/Hypfer/huesful-power-adaptor/releases) for gerber files.\n\nYou can of course also download [KiCad](https://kicad-pcb.org/) (GPL V3) and plot those yourself.\n\n## Specs\n\nSignify is using a 6.5x3mm [CUI DEVICES PJ-048H DC Power Jack](https://www.cuidevices.com/product/resource/pj-048h.pdf) on their PSUs \nwhich is available via [DigiKey](https://www.digikey.de/product-detail/en/cui-devices/PJ-048H/CP-048H-ND/1644579) as well other suppliers.\n\nThere are three of those on this PCB. You don't have to populate all of them of course.\n\nFurthermore, to connect a [proper PSU](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/LEICKE-Universal-Power-Supply-Plug/dp/B01GRYFNYK/), I've choosen the\n[CUI DEVICES PJ-202BH DC Power Jack](https://www.cuidevices.com/product/resource/pj-202bh.pdf) which is a standard 5.5x2.5mm DC Power Jack\navailable via [DigiKey](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/cui-devices/PJ-202BH/408451) as well as other suppliers.\n\nYou can also use a standard 5.08mm Terminal Block instead of one or more DC Power Jacks if you so desire.\nThat might be useful if you've already cut the power chord of your Hue Light in the past or want to daisy-chain multiple of these boards (not recommended).\n\n## ToDo\n\nA 3d printable case would be nice.\n\n## License\n\nThis work is licensed under a\n[Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License][cc-by-sa].\n\n[![CC BY-SA 4.0][cc-by-sa-image]][cc-by-sa]\n\n[cc-by-sa]: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/\n[cc-by-sa-image]: ./img/cc-by-sa.png\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhypfer%2Fhuesful-power-adaptor","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhypfer%2Fhuesful-power-adaptor","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhypfer%2Fhuesful-power-adaptor/lists"}
