@DJSmiley and @Just John : I really appreciate your feedback, but I must admit I don't understand all of it :-) I think the conclusion here is that the AMS1117 is a good choice right?
So did I use it correctly in the PCB design with the two capacitators? Is this design going to work at all?
I had all the components in your post at home, so I soldered it together for a friend. Then I thought created a small PCB for this would be so much easier. I have never done so though. EasyEDA seems easy enough though, so I have it a try. I never ever created a PCB before, so I'm not sure I got...
Well, I must admit that my level of knowledge about electronics is even worse. I got excited by the Arduino world and am trying to follow along, but designing my own circuit is pretty new as well. So would an AM1117 be the right component for this?
@Just John where should the capacitors go (and...
