--- Quote from: queennikki1972 --- MarkF that makes more sense to me. I assume that 1R0 is 1W means 1 WATT resistor. --- End quote --- errr nope. 1R0 = 1.0 ohms (at 1W as stated) Working with V=IR, as current increases, voltage across the resistor also increases following that formula. At near 0.6V ~= 600mA, it will start to conduct and start bringing down the Vop. If you need more current, decrease the resistor value and vice-versa Note: That type circuit is really only for "Trickle charging" at ~ 13.8V, it has no boost capability, as usually ~14.4V. That gets trickier :-) |

Im sorry for asking such dumb questions --- End quote --- I thought it meant series resistor, but the naming is arbitrary. --- Quote from: MarkF on April 30, 2019, 11:36:41 pm ---Here is a circuit I found online some time ago. There was a description but I didn't save the URL. I have not built it but looks interesting to play around with. --- End quote --- It's probably based around the one on the datasheet I referred to above. http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm117.pdf page 26. --- Quote from: digsys on May 01, 2019, 06:14:20 am --- --- Quote from: queennikki1972 --- MarkF that makes more sense to me.

Typo, 1 Ohm at 1 watt is actually what I meant to say. 1R0 1W = 1 Ohm at 1 watt |
