Arduino Project to Product-Part 6-Choosing a Voltage Regulator

2019-07-29 | By Maker.io Staff

In this video, Shawn Hymel continues the tutorial on the LoRa project with respect to supply voltage regulation. He explains in detail the pros and cons of voltage dividers and regulators such as shunt, linear and switching types that use buck and boost technology. Implementation of a linear regulator in the LoRa project is demonstrated, measured and tested including component selection and PCB production using a Bantam desktop milling machine.
