Well, I have gotten my 7812 voltage regulator and i want to take a 9 volt and make it twelve volts in order to run a really cool smartmug with only a 12 volt car hookup.
I have tried to find details on how to wire the LM7812 12 volt Voltage Regulator, its a pretty common IC, but have come up dry. Alot of people have told me to put the 9 volt to the imput, then ground the output and I magically get 12 volts. Doing this yields me .6 volts actually. Can anyone help me wire this?
Thanks ahead of time.
