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...
CONFIRMED: Noisy power definitely messes up everything when the PIC tries to compare the "wiper" reading with VDD/VSS, even using two 1K resistors to simulate 50% pot.
Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface
I bought a bunch of these a while back; aluminium heatsink with double-sided tape.
Demon Yesterday, 23:55It fits just right on the back of a IRFZ44N (TO-220). I don't seem to have to bother with a screw/nut (unless...
