+ | What happens when the output voltage is set to 3.3 V, and I hook it up to a 12 V battery? | ||
+ | Which is better: | ||
+ | * The PSU pulls the voltage down to 3.3 V (or as close as possible until it hits the current limit)? or | ||
+ | * The PSU supplies zero current, letting the voltage float up to 12 V? | ||

+ | Should have a 3.3v fixed output as well as the 5v. Easy enough to handle. 1A should be good for most purposes on the fixed supplies. Elektor ran a switching PSU module in April that I made some tweeks on and currently as waiting on boards. Galvanically isolating the adjustible supplies is a potential issue. As soon as you hook a meter panel up, the two supplies are tied together. Hack around it by using two MCUs for A/D and transmitting to a third one via optoisolators?--pstemari | ||
