Build a switchmode supply for your picaxe based on the LM2596-adj
Have been using this for a while but finaly got arround to doing a drawing,
so thought I would share as surprising these work really well providing a nice clean supply and no heat lol!
and handy too able to use those header leads to power projects.
The design is really based arround a 16v ac plugpack I aquired and other parts I could scrounge.
But other dc plugpacks could also be used.
The voltage is adjustable from 1.25v dc to 5.35v dc basically the range of our picaxe!
testpoint 1 is for when we are using the ac plugpack providing a 50hz signal we can use in future projects lol.
Building your own does allow your to fine tune things to your own requirements
and provides a learning step to next bigger project in mind.
