Hi all.
Im trying to work out a good way to turn 12v (IE car power) into 5v @ approx 6amps. I want to make it on the cheap, so Im hoping to do it with parts scabbed from old AT and ATX computer power supplies.
So far Ive found 1 7805 a few various negative 5v regulators and a bunch of high current switchmode power transistors (2sc2625 is one there is a few of).
Im under the impression that I could do a negative regulator and simply reverse the polarity at both ends. Am I on the right track here? Or am I even on a track at all?
