When working on electronic projects, you got to have power to make them work.  After getting a surprise complete 120 VAC to 5 VDC buck converter board in an electronics grab bag from Jameco Electronics, I decided to make a larger project out of it and create this dual DC Power Supply.

I went out and bought an additional 12 Volt DC power converter board so that I’d have the power needed for my future projects and planned to use both in the project. Everything didn’t work out perfectly with that plan, but we invite you to check out the journey to the completed power supply unit, capable of providing both 12 and 5 Volts of DC power.

Problems with the size of components and meter displays with faulting and limited documentation did cause problems, but in the end, we were able to make it work.

Hope you enjoy the project video, warts and all.
