I'm new to this forum, so please be patient with me...
I have a 9v ac multi-led controller (flashes multi-colored led's in various sequences). The controller is dependant on AC for timing. I am not concerned so much with the actual frequency of the timer as long as it is reasonable (30 - 70hz), but for the sake of specifics let's say 60hz. I believe a square wave will will work, and I don't think it needs any filtering. The device operates on a 9vac 250ma wall converter, but I would like to make it portable. I will probably use 6 c-cell batteries for the input voltage. Can someone tell me how to build a converter to acomplish this? I am not an electronics geek, but I do understand basic electronics, can read (very) basic schematic diagrams, and can solder proficiently.
BTW I have spent days on GOOGLE trying to figure this out, but no-one seems to really NEED 9vAC, so they just push DC through the bridge diodes.
Thanks in advance.
