Hey.
I've been playing about with the Velleman PIC programmer kit and I want to move on to prototyping circuits on a breadboard. I'm planning on basically replicating the circuit from the Velleman kit except for the sections of the circuit that concern Vpp (and maybe a bit more). The plan is to programme it with the Velleman and run it on the breadboard.
Thing is, there are two (different) voltage regulators in the circuit. One takes the voltage down from the 15VDC that comes in, to the 9ish VDC for Vpp. The next regulator takes it down again to the 5ish VDC to power the electronics etc.
So I'm wondering, to power my circuit, do I need both or just the second one or another one altogether? I haven't been able to find much about IC regulators. Any idea where I could find out about part numbers?
Thanks!!
