Over the past few years I have become pretty comfortable with basic 12volt wiring for my Velocity SE/Rotary install.



I have most of the panel complete without too much worry about it being good to go.  It consist of a Dynon Skyview, two King 125 radio's, old transponder, King 89b GPS, intercom and audio panel.



I have installed a 7 inch touch screen to run from a Netbook computer with solid state memory.  I want to keep PDF files of the plane as well as Anywhere Map usage with this small but pretty powerful computer.  Also, some onboard entertainment.



My question is, what is the best way to wire this small computer into the ships power.  I have had suggested that I buy a cigarette adapter plug and power supply and just plug it in that way, however, I am wanting a more direct and permanent connection.  I am not sure how well the computer will play with the 12volt system since it expects a wall plug.  I do not know if there is a conventional wisdom method for this type of install.  Pardon my ignorance.  What may y'all suggest?  My skills are much better than three years ago, but still pretty limited and what may be very obvious to you, well, is not so much for me.



Thanks.



All the best,

     What are the voltage and current ratings on the

     ac mains power supply? Usually, these small computers

     run on 19 volts DC or so at a couple amps.



     It would not be difficult to build a permanently

     installed 14-29v up-converter with the appropriate

     connector to mate with the computer.
