MintyBoost Bonus Parts?

Postby ifrpilot999 » Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:23 pm

Late last year I bought a MintyBoost kit that was a blast to assemble and works great!

As a bonus (or something like that) the order included a small set of parts to build (I think) a regulated 5V power supply. There were no directions or schematics on how to out it together. I have looked through your website and so far have found nothing that I can use to make use of these parts.

Any hints on how to proceed?

BTW, you guys rock and I have become a pretty good customer with more to come...

Thanks.

Dave.

that's odd, we've never provided any bonus parts with a mintyboost - google for 7805 regulator schematics for some you can follow - we don't have a detailed tutorial at this time

OK,thanks. I should clarify, the MintyBoost was purchased at Thanksgiving last year and included was a separate packet of parts to make a power supply: voltage regulator, 2 LED's, caps, resistors, 2.1 MM barrel jack, etc. No PCB. Must have been some kind of special or something. I'm just looking to make use of the parts, although your $15 breadboard power supply looks pretty good...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll search around and try to come up with something.

Dave.
