You can also add an extra diode, which is suposed to protect the LM317 regulator. ;) |

While following this thread, I realized that I have a need for a small adjustable supply for one of my projects. I used a 10-turn pot to adjust the voltage and added an input jack for a wall-wart. I may or may not populate all the input/output jacks. Here is the PCB that I've ended up with: |

Looks good, although you can buy small modules that are effectively a switchmode version of that for about a buck shipped from China so unless you need a specific form factor or just want the design/layout practice it likely makes more sense to just buy one. |

You can get linear versions too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LM317-DC-DC-Linear-Step-down-Voltage-Regulator-Power-Supply-Module-5V-9V-12V-24V/222697536114? It's fun to build stuff, but jeez, it's hard to buy the regulator alone for the price of the whole module shipped. |
