0clintonsqs 8 years ago Can some one please draw me a diagram on how its put togeather. Id appreciate it alot. thank you
0Bobblehead Einstein 8 years ago LM317 is the perfect answer,but incase you are unable to find it go with a LM7805,it will bring 12 v to 5 v (just connect a resistor to drop 0.5 volts) & you should be good
0steveastroukBobblehead Einstein Answer 8 years ago You should avoid using resistors to adjust the output of a power supply. Use a diode, and let its 0.5..0.7 v forward drop do it instead.

Use a 240 Ohm and a 620 Ohm resistor
Answer 8 years ago
how many watts should the resistors and capacitors be?
Answer 8 years ago
1/8 watt will be fine.

Use a regulator, not resistors. An LM317 will be perfect
