AFX power to Artin track?

Postby downtowndeco » Tue Jul 01, 2014 1:39 pm

Looking through my stuff I found a couple of 22v AFX power packs. Can I cut the ends off of them & my Artin power packs & splice the Artin plugs onto the AFX power packs? The Artins are only 12v so I figured there would be some power boost but I don't really know about such things that's why I'm asking here. : ) Also, the Artin plugs have 4 wires, the AFX only 2. How do I wire it up so I don't blow a fuse or burn the man cave down? I have basic soldering skills, I just need to figure wheich wires go where. Thanks in advance.

You don't want 22 volts. You will harm your motors. 12 volts is more than enough power.
