[QUOTE="MikePresJr, post: 7626167, member: 639269"] So, I could solder a diode onto each 12v, directly onto the wire? I tried doing this a couple days back but on the cathode and the wire extending from the cathode, I was getting a voltage of 1.2 on my DMM. So it was like I was picking up the diode's voltage but none of the current from the PSU was getting thru. Did I wire the diode on backwards perhaps? Thank you very much for your input. Edit: Also, about putting diodes on both, seems like that would lower both voltages, but they would still be the same. I'm trying to get a slightly different voltage from one so the voltage detector on the other won't recognize the first as a PSU, and 'accept' it's help, so to speak. :P [/QUOTE]
