Not to bring an old horse back from the dead, but do we know the absolute max of amps that the IR receiver can take? I have seen that 1 amp for 9 volt is said to be the max but at 12 volts what is one looking at for that voltage? I am trying to run a computer supply that supplies 12 VDC but at 14 amps.... Hold on be fore we freak out though... I have a dc to dc step down convertor to adjust for a large track layout which the step down is set at the 12 VDC INPUT to 9 VDC on the OUTPUT for the train pick up. Supposedly the dc to dc step down will only use the amps needed to power whatever is on the receiving end, so if it needs only one amp then that is all that gets through... Any thoughts on the mention above? Thanks in advance guys!!!!
