    5V Solid Wood Mod Continued....

    Here is a picture of the voltage regulator with all the additional components. and here is everything crammed inside the wooden enclosure. To keep things in place, and tidy them up a bit, I used hot glue to keep all but the feed wires in the hole. The screws you see hold things...

    5V Solid Wood Mod

The piece of wood I had was about 1.5 inches by .75 inches I cut off enough to hold two Trustfire 14500 batteries end to end - plus...
