Default Re: Save yourself a quid or so...

I recently built a similar regulator, but since I had some problems in the past I actually read the data sheet, and lo and behold the pinout is different from the usual 3 terminal devices.

Not too happy with the linear regulator however, I prefer to use a switching type as they are more efficient, i.e. less heat, wherever possible.
