Ok, I have absolutly NO clue how to wire up the LM317t thing. What all do I need? I have the 240 and 390 ohm things. I don't understand the diagrams. and, I have no perf board.

Here's a better (no offense, Skyone ) calculator where you can enter any two of the variables (like R1 and Vout) to get R2. Just remember to wire it like in Skyone's diagram, not the other calculator.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

The TI converters are switching regulators whereas the LM thingy is linear. So the TI is more efficient.Krepticor wrote:ok there is something I have wanted to know...
What are the differences between the LM and the TI converters?
is either one more efficient? Is it easier to hook up? Is there a heat consideration?
Edit: Oh and less heat too. (on the TI)

Sky, I like yours better. Its easier to understand. But which way does r1 go? I dont understand how the resisters work.
