Ok, i'm going to scratch the PWM for now as i dont feel like messing with it at the moment and will be wanting to incorporate an Andruino for that. So for now i just want to do some manual adjusting with some POTs.
I was looking up a
LM317A and I'm assuming that this will do the trick to limit the current. Just dont know how i would connect it though. I connect the 48vdc to the in, out to the negative of the psu and the POT to the ADJ peg??? If thats correct, how exactly does this work? as in, do i connect the 48vdc + to the POT then to the ADJ peg or what? Its kind of late and my brain is ready for bed...
Trying to make a cheap manual control constant current device to hold me over till i am ready to dive into an Andruino later this summer.
