  • Elegoo Breadboard power supply module MB‐V2:
    • Input voltage: 6.5-9v (DC) via 5.5mm x 2.1mm plug
    • Output voltage: 3.3V/5v
    • Maximum output current: 700 mA
    TODO center positive or center negative?
    Does not come with AC adapter, getting this one: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08ZN476FW output: DC 9V 1A Power Supply Adapter, Plug 5.5mm x 2.1mm, Center Positive,B rand: Security-01, input: AC 100-240V 50/60 Hz, Cable length: 1.8m
    Parts list from the ZIP:
  • resistors:
    • 10x each:
    • 30x 220
  • 1n4007 General Purpose Rectifier
  • 22pf 104 Ceramic Capacitor
  • 4N35 optocoupler
  • 74HC595 8-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register with output latches; 3-state
  • Active buzzer
  • Buttons
  • CDS-55 Photoresistor
  • Electrolytic Capacitor
  • Focusens MF52D 103f 3950 thermistor. Beta value 25/50 Celcius: 3950. R_25: I measured 9.61 k Ohms. The number 103 they document as:
    These descriptions are weird, but ChatGPT has the theory that the first two digits are actual values, and the last is multiplier, so which makes 10k.
    but I have no idea how that maps to 10 k Ohms.
  • PN2222 General Purpose Transistor
  • Passive buzzer
  • 3386p Bourns Precision Potentiometer - 1 103T: from 0 to 10k Ohms, measured with multimeter. According to the manual the "103" mean 10 k oms, which is consistent with our measurement. "P 103" is etched into the part.
  • LEDs:
    • White LED 10x
    • Kingbright RGB LEDs 10x red, green, yellow, blue:
      • maximum Continuous Forward Current: 30 mA for read and blue, 25 mA for green
      • 303025
      • under 20 mA
      20 mA appears to be the typical operation. So with the 2.0 V drop on 5 V power we want a resistor such that:
      (1)
      for the max 50 mA we would instead have 60 Ohms
