In the Maker Shed: Plug-in Bread-Board Power Supply

I decided to make a quick video of me building the Plug-in Bread-Board Power Supply from the Maker Shed (http://www.makershed.com). This power supply makes a great addition to anyones electronics lab. Here's why:


This power supply module plugs straight into common bread boards, allowing you to cleanly and easily power your board with a wall wart plug or with wires into screw terminals. It features a variable voltage regulator that can be set to output 3.3 or 5V with a jumper, or any voltage if a potentiometer is added. The input has a rectifier that accepts AC or DC (polarity doesn't matter)--just make sure the input is about 2V greater than the output you want. Skill level: beginner.

I am suddenly extremely interested in all this Arduino nonsense.

cool little soldering iron...........

[Currylord101]

what type of solder gun do you use?

@uttershock

It's a power supply not a power source. It supply's a variable amount of voltage to you breadboard project. It still needs a source of power. If you buy a $300~ bench power supply, guess what you have to plug that one in as well. Although you're just trolling, others might of wanted to know.

@sofiadragon1979 Why is it dangerous?

[sofiadragon1979]

I don't like how you are showing people that it is ok to wrap the solder around the 3rd hand tool & solder, that is very dangerous to do.
