U user1453 New Member Aug 18, 2006 #1 I'm about to build a variable voltage power supply I don't always ont to be grabbing for the multimeter whenever I want to adjust the voltage to roughly something so I though of a simple (not very accurate) circuit the voltage range will be 0-24v my question do you think it would work?
