Re: vista 20p and a 714 blaster driver module

Thanks for the insight, Nick, I have a few dc transformers around, is it ok
to use them to power the 714 and if so how much power would it draw?

Thanks Larry

The blaster driver  draws way to much power  your either going to have
to use an additional power supply and relay or go to a low draw
driver,  you can reuse the horn part thou.
