    Sorry for the delay.  Turning the power down worked.  Now I have happy eggbot and pretty eggs (well ping-pong balls).

    Thanks!

    I didn’t have an adaptor for UK plugs when I first built my Eggbot, so used a Maplins multi-voltage regulated supply at 9V, 1.4A, which worked fine.  

    However the supply provided gives motor jittering on the pen arm.  The pot was already a maximum, wich both motors easily turned by hand, so no joy there.

    The supplied switch-mode psu seems to be giving 1.5A / 9V as expected.  I really don’t want to tie my multi voltage supply to the Eggbot – any advice on what I need to look for in a replacement supply?
