 Hello everybody, welcome back to my V-LOG. Sorry it's been a while, I just have loads of bits and pieces to do. Look, I thought this might be quite interesting because, I mean, one of us are familiar with the Highland power supply. The 0-30 volts, 0-3 amps power supply boards. And how so many of them are fake. Well, not so much fake, but the layout's different. You've got a 90 degree layout positioning of the voltage regulator, the 24 volt regulator and the high pass filter. Well, I was looking across the internet and I noticed this one being sold in the UK. I'll stick it up on the screen here. And if we just go through here, you can see that it has what seems to be the correct layout. And there's no other boards here depicting the 90 degree layout with the voltage regulator and the pass filter, the pass transistor. So, I ordered one. It's a little bit more expensive than if you order from, you know, vendors in other places. And this has come through pretty quickly. And we're going to take a quick peek in there now and see if it is actually the board that I ordered, which is the one with the regulator and the pass transistor in the face in the same direction. So, let me just get rid of that. Oh, yes. I mean, you can see straight away. I can see straight away. I don't know if you can see that so well. But I can see straight away that there is. Okay, so we're going to get the instructions here. Please install the resistance diodes according to PC. Oh, yeah, of course. The resistances and diodes. Well, the resistors are all right anyway. But the diodes, yes, of course. High quality DC regulated power supply whose output voltage is continuously adjustable from 0 to 30 volt includes a current limiting circuit, which enables output current to be continuously adjustable from 2 millionth to 3 amp, which is brilliant. Provide current limiting LED display overload short circuit protection easy to install and maintain, which is absolutely right. If you've got one of these that is not automatically goes in the rubbish list. Now, let's pull these out and have a quick look. I'm not going to do the build now and test it. These are the op-humps. There's a standard input filter. Sorry about the audio quality as well. I quite got everything up and running. Oh yeah, that's nice. You don't normally get this sort of thing in with these kits. That's just a nice little DIY maker series. I'm not sure who that's. I wonder if you could go there because this was actually from a vendor. I'm going to save the vendor first. I'm quite pleased. It seems like it's a good one. From violin hysteria? Bulinisteria? Bulinisteria? Oh, every good pronounce. Off eBay. They got back to me straight away when I asked them. Is it not the genuine but is the layout? Is the layout the way I'd want it? Which is this way. So your pass transistor will sit here and you're, well, to be honest with you, I put a heatsink on the back of mine. It covers the entire back area and then just do some leads off to here with some cable. But yeah, there it is. So that seems quite promising. What I will do is I will set it all up. Not in this video. This is just a quick look at it. I don't want to see if there's anything really that stands out on the board that may make it look like it doesn't say Highland on here anywhere. So it's not actually a genuine Highland. They tend to put that on all their things. I've got another little power supply here from Highland. I do have another one here and it just shows that on their things they actually, they put their name. But that looks like it's in the correct place, which is really helpful because when the power supply, when the heatsink sat here, it means that back can go against the heatsink as well, which is quite nice. All right, well, everything else in there looks fine on it, the way it would normally be with these things. It's our voltage regulator. There's our pass transistor. Now, let's have a look at this. Now, this is interesting. On the other pass transistors. Let's just make sure you can see that. What I noticed was on all the dodgy ones. Let me just find one along the shape. Okay, so here's one that hasn't even been opened yet. Okay, so let's just shift this stuff out of the way. This hasn't even been opened. I didn't see the point that opened it. I could see just by looking in there that it was a dodgy. So let's just pull this out. And you can see first of all what I mean about the board. You see the voltage regulator is on the 90 degree to the pass transistor. These have all been problem boards to me. There's a slight shade difference, which is nice. There are differences in the way that the silt screen has been done. As you can see, these are easier to see than what these are. But the main difference is that I'm interested in is that the pass transistor here and this regulator are facing the same way. Because on all those boards that are like that, I've not had a problem with all the boards like this I've had a problem with. Now, what I was saying about the pass transistor here. Let me take a peek at that one. And then you look at this one. With that you're in taking it out. I know what this one's going to look like and it's going to look like a dodgy. And here's the difference. Do you see the difference? Is this is almost like it's been cut in to this. But it's just different. This is how the original ones look. Now I'm not saying that one of these won't work because I actually tried one of these on a genuine board, a working board and it worked. I'm not saying if it will be as robust as one of these, but all these ones I've had have been fine. They've been fine. There's a little bit more to these as well. They've had these dimple parts cut into them. So it looks like there's been more work done. But apart from that they look pretty similar, don't they? But yeah, that one seems to be a good one. Hopefully that's going to be the way it is. We'll keep those at the way of that because that's just going to be the start of the way now. And yeah, we'll get this again. We'll get this again or we'll get back to you when I've done it. All right, that goes with that. This one's a bad one. We'll give this a go. And I'll get back to you when I've done it. We'll just make sure it's all up and running and doing what it's supposed to do. All right, we've got this far guys. Thanks for watching. Again, if you want to know who that was, it's by Linus Terrier. You can get them from the UK to you guys in the UK and they're easy for you. But it's just nice to know that there are some of these now out there on the market. And like I say, I'll let you know. I'll get it done over the next couple of days, this particular thing. And I'll let you know if everything's working okay or not. The proof is in the pudding when I come back and we'll see whether it's a work or not. Thanks for watching. Bye-bye for now.
