Im trying to learn how to use and program Pic16f628a microcontrollers and the amount of Text is huge.
Ive got an old laptop that I want to take to work so i can read the PDF's while Im having lunch in my car but the Laptop I'm using takes a 15volt DC input.
The batteries only last for about 5 mins and when plugged into the cars lighter socket at 12v the Laptop lasts for about 15 minutes then just turns off.
Ive used a 15 volt DC transformer at home and the thing runs all day.
Is there a way to get 15 volts out of the cars 12v socket that isnt to complicated or should I just buy an adaptor from china off ebay.
Thanks alot.
