Gday’
I’ve nearly done the course, I’ve actually built some ‘stuff’ over the years. I’m jumping into ‘send and fab’ build methods.
My First Project is going to be a simple PSU. Nothing Flash - a Simple 5v LM7805 linear regulator based psu. Through hole components… nothing flash. This project is more about learning to build than the actual project.
So this is going to be a simple implementation, only <5 components.
This is going to be the heart

Simple and standard implementaion < - cut and paste from the Product Specs.
I’m kinda happy with how easy it is to put images into this system BTW. Great work on that! (ctrl c +ctrl v) nice and simple.
Welcome to the forums! I like the idea of building a power supply. It’s practical in that you can use it in other projects or to power breadboard circuits etc. And then it’s a double win if it helps guide you towards your goal of designing a pcb.
