Power Setup for MDF Track?

[rsoward]

Right now I am running SSD track where the power supply is simple... hook this up to the rest of the track and things work.

However, I am not sure of the power setup for a homemade routed MDF track works.

I am starting from the very beginning and have no idea how to set this up.

Has anyone written up the entire process of creating the power setup for an MDF track?

• Track power to the braids
• What power supply to use
• Controller power (plus all the negative/positive controller... blah blah blah)
• and anything else I do not know about...

Thanks for the help,

Ryan

What I need besides power supply help is which wires go where ?
The one power supply linked above....is it adjustable ?

If you would click the link I show a diagram sort of like what Jeremy posted.



The XLR connections are a great way to go, thanks for the links Jeremy. I am just stubborn and use the 3 bolt method :)

I also reference the Braid Job Part 2 article here: http://homeracingworld.us/viewtopic.php ... 6&start=30

This article shows a picture of the wiring under the track.

Further information on how this was setup and the equipment used would be helpful.

Thanks,

Ryan

I like using banana plugs, FWIW.
