Variable voltage regulator using LM317
Variable voltage regulator
This is a variable voltage regulator using a lm317 in the circuit above. This circuit and ic can regulate from 1.5v to 30v (maximum voltage is 30v). This circuit can handle up to 1 amp, but if your gonna regulate high to low voltage at one amp, this ic will get extremely hot, so you would need to put a giant heatsink on it to dissipate alot of heat. Even if you wont regulate alot of voltage, still put a heat sink on it.
On the left shows the pinout of the lm317. make sure you wire the lm317 in the circuit corr
