    A very nice kit
    5 Stars
    A very nice kit
    Based on previous reviews, I added R6, R7, R8 discharge resistors (to quickly discharge big caps after power-off), D9-D13 protection diodes (to prevent inductive loads from damaging voltage regulators) and C10-C11 bypass capacitors (to suppress HF noise). See the attached schematics. I employed crimp terminals (22-18AWG #8) instead of soldering wires as can be seen in the pic (a tip from a previous reviewer). I also added DROK digital meters (combined voltmeter/ammeter):DROK 0.28"High Accuracy DC 0-33.00V/0-999.9mA-3.000A 12V Voltmeter Ammeter Voltage Current Tester Monitor Panel Gauge.Edit on 6/1/2017:I ordered and installed multi turn 2K potentiometers, $6.72 for two pots including 11 day delivery from China:CNBTR Wirewound Cylindrical Potentiometers 2K Ohm 10 Turn 3590S-2-202L Rotary Shaft Set of 2.It made a huge difference: as you can see on the new picture, it's possible now to control voltage with up to 10 mV precision.I had to use a 1/4" drill bit to adjust the original knobs for the mult-turns' 1/4" shaft.
