Just be aware that if you're starting with 12V VIN then the regulator is going to dissipate roughly 5W with 700mA out (from your other thread).
Pd = (12V-5V) x 0.7 = 4.9W
Figures that I would hit a roadblock after wiring an ammeter to be able to see current and voltage in real-time. That DC-DC converter under the meters has too much noise on VDD and VSS for stable...
Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface
Paint on heatsinks is not for cosmetic reasons. Black heatsinks radiate more IR energy than bare aluminum ones.
