Powering the EL sheet is definitely doing to be an interesting experience. I may have to roll my own inverter. Not sure yet.
12V inverters are kind of big on power consumption, so the internal 12V regulator on the logic board will not suffice. the 5V inverters on the market dont have enough output current to run a large A5+ sheet.
So, I think i will use a regulated output inverter off the main 6 to 7.5V B supply. The voltage is relatively low. 100 to 200v. at rouhgly 400Hz. Easily doable with a re-wound CCFL transformer, and a 555 timer circuit.
I thought about LEDs, and laser etched gradation sheet (used in modern day LED panels), but not enough room underneath to put it.
