@gunrunnerjohn posted:You do realize that the PCB you're using has the entire row of copper, so for one, the diode is connected to the same copper strip on both ends. That's for starters, I have no idea what you're doing with the regulator, but it's also shorted in the same way!
I had a feeling that would be an issue... Not sure why I ignored it. I'll try it again with new components. Hopefully I'll get it right this time!
