This document describes how to construct a dual polarity linear power supply which can be configured for any positive or negative voltage between 1.2-35V. A power supply is the fundamental building block of all but the simplest of electronic devices. It converts the alternating current (AC) from our wall outlets into direct current (DC) at some specified voltage.
These valuable learning materials are partly derived from Robot Builder's Guide of Fred Martin, the course notes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"I present, below, a collection of projects I have worked-on over the past few years. For over a decade, I had taught both embedded systems (microcontroller technology) and digital signal processing and practice what I preach...."

"The electronics industry uses several methods for labelling front panels and enclosures, including screen printing, press forming, erosion, lasers etc.. The common factor of these techniques is that they are generally beyond the home constructor. Having these parts specially made commercially can be very expensive, and the only alternative is standardized scales and fonts."
