DualLM317BenchSupply

A simple adjustable voltage, current limited bench power supply using two LM317 regulators, designed in KiCAD.

Features:

• Voltage is variable, using a 10-turn pot.
• Current is limited in 6 steps (13mA, 25mA, 63mA, 125mA, 250mA, 500mA).
• A current-limit bypass switch allows for more than 500mA. Be careful not to exceed 1.5A. This is the "trust me, I know what I'm doing" switch.
• Footprints included for both 2.1x5.5mm and 2.5x5.5mm DC barrel jacks (the two sizes you are most likely to have on hand).
• Modifications possible by populating the board with alternate parts

Board Revision v2

Revision 2 of the boards are being beta tested amongst some friends. I'll probably put it up on tindie.com soon!

Board Revision v1

A run of five v1 boards was ordered, but they suffered from a manufacturing defect which shorted a pad to ground. Thus, this revision was never publicly for sale.
