It makes the schematic very difficult to read (especially considering the ultra-thin fonts it uses). Thanks!

Thanks, it looks like just about the right kind of project for my skill level. I hope to use the power supply in testing guitar mini-amp circuits, and also with an electret mic project. Sean in Michigan David,

I will look into this for the next board revision. Daniel,

Good idea.. I will look into this for the next board revision.

It would only require having space on board for 2-3 more resistors. A trimmer to adjust voltage requires a DVM and thats kind of annoying.

I had a great time giving those away for typos.. I am so bad that I dont know if I can afford to keep doing that... I am doing a respin on the board and would welcome any comments or sugestions for improvements. The major change will be the addition of a set of pins that plug in like an IC would (0.3 centers) to allow for breadboards that have different spacing. I also hope to increase the size of pads to make it easier for inexperienced solders. One idea is to make the round pads oval and the square pads elongated rectangles. The idea is to make it easier to solder up. I hope you guys get some good use from the kits. I had a great time giving those away for typos..

Thanks, David! I hope to get it assembled tonight, though it'll be a little while before I put it to serious use--my wife's a teacher, and we're heading out next week so she can enjoy her Spring Break. Now I just need a project to work on. Has anybody else experienced "hobbyist's block"? I just received *my* kit in the mail, and it looks great. Thanks, David!

Thank you, David, for sending me one. I'll let you know how everything goes once I free up some time. I received my kit a little while ago, but haven’t had any free time to play with it yet.
