From the project
testing the process
The one modification is that I am using a different power socket since the one they use is really obscure and I only found it in one place. This one is meant to use the following receptacle: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/710-694106301002
Can be powered with any 2.1 x 5.5 5V DC barrel.
