OK so its not 100% done yet, still have some soldering and cleaning up to do on it but its Cosmetically done!
Features:
*0-12V infinitely adjustable and up to 3 Amps per side!
*Dual LED volt meters accurate to 3 decimals!
*Dual banana jack binding post terminals
*a big metal toggle switch and a light!
*is made out of a nutone doorbell or intercom box
future features might be negative voltage outputs (just add a switch and some stuff) and higher voltage output than 12v
pics!
i will post more pictures when i get it all powered up and whatnot!

Re: DIY Dual Adjustable benchtop PowerSupply!
How does the variable converter work? Variac? Dimmer? Custom logic? Pot and regulator?

Its an LM350T variable output voltage regulator and output is set by a 5k potHow does the variable converter work? Variac? Dimmer? Custom logic? Pot and regulator?

so are these used for testing and what-not before you mess with batteries?

Niiiice. A cheap alternative is an old computer's CPU. Right off the bat, you have +3.3, +/- 5, and +/- 12 volts. In fact, I have an small old one I was saving just for that purpose...
Hey, sup?

Re: DIY Dual Adjustable benchtop PowerSupply!
Its based on an AT PSU actually. i have it set up like this so i have infinite adjustability from 0-12v so i can test dropout voltages and current draws and such easier. plus it allows me to run pretty much anything that will run on 12v or less. or i can use and old printer power brick and go from 24v and down! and up to 6 amps if i run the supplies in parallel

Re: DIY Dual Adjustable benchtop PowerSupply!
I already have one! It is my friend's old one thats crappier, but it puts out 2A constant and adjustable from 0V to 15V the banana plugs in mine are always plugged in too! But you have to use a multimeter to check the voltage...
Banned indefinitely if you desperately need to contact me STOPPHONESPAMPLOX Please dont be a dick and call for something random like "HEY YURDRUE DOO U HAZ SPAM?"
