westlc01 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hi,I was told I need a hobby (I am sure some of you knowthe drill).. Anyhow I have taken up reading about electronics and have come to the stage that I should do something more than play around with a multimeter, breadboard and a few components, although this has been a great way to learn some basic priciples.I have decided that i should build a decent bench power supply as I have worked out that it is probably one of the most fundamental and usefull pieces of equiptment I would use.However when I search the net for a good design I am swamped with so many options.I would love some advice as to what features I should look for in a power supply project . I would like it to meet both my current learning needs and meet future needs as I continue to learn.A link to a suitable project would be great, but i also would like to know what you would look for in a good lab supply.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 westlc01,Welcome to this forum.My first advices for a power supply will be; find one with adjustable current limit! This feature will save you a lot of agony and it also let you charge batteries. Next advice depends on how much you want to spend building it.Ante ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
