Loading... Please wait...A very simple breadboard power supply kit that takes power from a DC wall wart and outputs a selectable 5V or 3.3V regulated voltage. The .1" headers are mounted on the bottom of the PCB for simple insertion into a breadboard. Pins labeled VCC and GND plug directly into the power lines. The lone pair of pins have no electrical connection but help support the PCB.
There are two pins available within the barrel jack footprint. Any stripped +/- DC supply can be connected instead of the barrel connector. Board has both an On/Off switch and a voltage select switch (3.3V/5V).
Comes as a bag of parts kit and is easily assembled if you can follow the silkscreen indicators and have beginning experience with a soldering iron. You will need to read the resistor bands or use a multimeter to determine the resistor sizes.

This is a nice neat little board but the LED is bright enough to confuse low-flying aircraft. And the silkscreen was very patchy and faint in places, which might lead to misplaced components if you're not experienced at self assembly. You don't want to get an electrolytic cap the wrong way around!
However - the output voltages are basically perfect. I ran this thing from my nastiest wall-wart and it was rock solid at 3.33V and 5.06V.
All the components are good quality and the board itself (ignoring the silkscreen) is solid.
Overall pretty decent.
