      Is this power supply within reasonable ripple output? Or would it benefit from further reduction of dc ripple.

    I just watched your build and found it very interesting for my level of electronics.(LOW)!!! For my level and a lot of other people’s level this is a great job to learn how to work with the parts and such to put them together. I also read a lot of the comments and it seems a lot of people seem to forget about us uneducated learners. We need these jobs to learn from.

    This is THE diy power supply, look no further. I used your fine adjustment pot solution for mine. I had a problem bc i didnt use the same dc dc converter so i had to use a boost one and a buck one, in top of that i needed -12v with at least 5 amp (for chip power amp test, like 3116d2) so i had to use 2 pc smps in series, but it turn out well, i used an old (really old) dual cassette deck as enclosure. Thank you very much for the tips.

    @bgable7707 3 года назад

    Potentiometer wiring on the schematic, I'm not sure about the orientation of the new pots and which post should be 1, 2, 3. On the converter PCB, I'm counting left to right, with the square "through hole" as 1 on the left. On the New pots, looking at them with the post pointing toward me, the images I've found, are labeled 1 to 3, left to right. Is that the way you meant in the diagram or reversed? Thanks, I'm looking forward to completing this! Looks great.

  • @MrOziwizi
    @MrOziwizi 3 года назад +1

    Hi, I have a similar psu without green cable and a gray cable, can you please advise what you do with the gray cable, did you just cut it away? And what is the resistor type you are using? It would be nice if you can put the details on the video.

    Everything is very good, but I have 2 questions, what is the 10w resistance 10 homnios for, I am not an expert in electronics, but does it seem almost a short circuit in the 5V line?
    And the usbs I understand that they need some resistors on the data pins so that the device (cell phone) takes 1A or 2A if they do not have those special voltages on the data legs it only takes 0.5A

    • @lmanghg1257
      @lmanghg1257 4 года назад +2

      The 10ohm10W res. function as a dummy load. Some ATX PSU won't start (turn on) if there is no load.

    • @creativesolutions-diy
      @creativesolutions-diy  4 года назад

      You are right, if you will use the usb port to charge the cell phone you can short the -Data with +Data pins.
      The 10w 10ohm resistor is for dummy load because computer PSU style supplies need some load to work properly, otherwise they sometimes wont start or output voltages fluctuate.

    Hello, I have a question on the switch wiring : if the green and the black wire are connected, the pc power supply should be ON, but if we change the switch state the 5V is directly connecter on the GND... isn't it dangerous ? That's a big question I have : why do we have a 5V on the switch, because wiring the green and black wire together should be sufficient to have the power supply activated.
    Thanks for the possible answers !

    Excellent tutorial but cannot for the life of me get the power switch LED to illuminate. It seems you have the voltage + going to the common pole on the switch, with ground in the centre pole, and then green on the top. Which makes sense, when the switch is thrown, connects the ground and green to kick the PSU on. But the LED is pole sensitive, so needs the + on the switched side, I think? I mean, the switch itself works, soon as I activate it I get power to the fan, and the orange/red/yellow wires read 3.3/5/12 volts.
