What??

[dysfoundation]

So I have a 5v 3amp regulator
Wired it like this
Left voltage in
Left middle ground
Right middle voltage out
Right no connection

Is this wrong?
Because all I get out of it is .73 volts

Look up the datasheet and make sure you wired it correctly.

I tried but I can find anything..
I'm using my phon due to no internet in the house so its a pain to see find anything

That's why I'm asking you guys for help

P.s its the one from madvapes

flip your ground and v-out.

The one I have (looking at front, pins pointing down) from left to right is:

Vin Vout GND Ctrl

If you are not using the Ctrl pin, check the datasheet to find out if you need a pull-up resistor, or how it behaves when floating. Without a part # that's the best we can tell ..........

Oh, and if you do use the ctrl pin (so you can use a small low-amp button), you usually need a pull-down resistor to ground.

I love you guys haha you two were correct.on the pin layout t thank you

On the controlled pin it can be floating with no performance change.
I put the momentary on the voltage in wire so i don't need to resist it.

Just need to wait for sealed connections to dry and i can KB weld it all up so it'll look clean ill post picture of finished tomorrow

RCA male connector fix in the making

Edit
FINISHED! it still needs some more KB weld then a sanding to clean things up but I finally finished this beast!
I fixed the battery connect using an RCA cable male adapter

IF ANY ONE WANTS A TUT ON FIXING A BATTERY CONNECTOR WITH NO WASHER PM ME AND I'LL MAKE ONE.

here are some pictures let me know your opinions on it guys and girls remember this is my first 5v flashlight mod

That is a BEAST... but as long as it vapes!!! Nothing is quite as satisfying as DIY imo, long live the flashbeast!

It looks like something you would see in a Sci Fi movie. An Alien hand grenade maybe.

Lol, you should name it "The Baneling"

Heh, did this part happen? You definitely got job 1 out of the way, no more dangly wires. I like the recessed light. If it is sturdy, vapes consistently, then let it be

Amen, my first box was unsightly itself, I didn't have the cojones to post a pic of it on here, but I used the heck out of it until I made a few better ones.

I got the idea from a Guy on YouTube he calls it the detonator, but i tried to form the button to my grip instead of just strait upward. I love this thing I think 5v is my sweet spot

I just found out my light flickers if its low so I made a ghetto indicator without knowing it haha.

I want to make a ball 5v mod now haha

That is a one scary looking mod. You can club someone with it

Lmao!
Thinking of making a second one once I figure our where to get a better selection of regulators
