But i got a good one for ya

Also remember, this is a step-down which means you can get less than about 18V from a 19V laptop power pack

How hard would to be to get a schematic for that circuit because I would have to figure how to mount that some kind of box???
My idea was to move the leds,screen display,and buttons to the front panel but how would I control the voltage and current from those tiny pots with being  a pain to do ??

I did. Years ago. It was the plain R-2R version. I think a user here had build the new version (R-2R+PWM).

It's a nice design to demonstrate what an mcu can do (it combines I/O, DACs, ADCs, general transistor calculations e.t.c. A really nice exercise for beginners, with clean understandable code in C), but not suitable for a lab or any serious work.

Edit:

I thought I had dismantle it, but no. It was sitting in a box. It still works.

Well I got to the point to where size doesn't matter ... So does anyone know who makes a kit or really good schematic for a bench top power supply????

This subject has been discussed to exhaustion around here, and the answer is always that you can buy one far cheaper than you can make one. A power supply is a tool, and for most people you buy the tools you need so you can concentrate on the interesting things you can make with those tools. Making a laboratory power supply is a bit like making a hammer or making a saw. OK, you can do it, but for most purposes what is the point?

I buildt one of these as my first kit a few months back. Only issue i ran into was getting the code to compile; I had to change some of the keywords..
I can send you my code if you want to give it a try.

Another downside is the price. The kit + Atmega8A + LCD + programmer = approx 100$. And on top of that you need a DC source.

I used a beefy 7A 19.5V laptop brick (edit)  wich gave me 18.2V max output.
