Hey all,
Was just wondering if anybody knows of a wall adapter that allows you to easily get a wire of ONLY a ground pin from a household electrical outlet. I'm not really sure where to get a proper ground line from for use with custom electronics.

Thanks,
Ryan

You can use the mounting screw for the cover as a ground source. If the outlet is grounded the screw will be grounded also. Or just usea 3 prong cord and use the ground line, which is the centered round terminal in the plug.

Kgross has it correct. All 3 prong outlets also ground the mouting screw. Use an outlet tester to verify that the ground is working !
