I would love for someone to give this a try some day, and maybe even sell it! After finding out that the voltage regulator on the VB i just got isn’t good, I would love to give that a try on a future system should that happen again some day.
Thats my little creation based on information found here and my own investigation.
Basically its a simple linear regulator replacement for the original switching buck regulator.
I did bench test the design and it had no issues, but i have not tested it long term. I also have not had the PCB produced for it.
Ideally It should be a switching regulator also to get the best efficiency possible to have your batteries last the longest, but I figure many people are using the power adapter anyways.
No problem, Ive now completly redesigned it, and is now using a very high efficiency switching regulator circuit.
I’ve also cut down the size to almost the exact size of the stock one.
