🔌 Wiring & Usage

1. Input: Connect Vin+ (Positive) and GND (Negative) to power source (e.g., 12V battery).

2. Output: Connect Vout+ (Positive) and GND (Negative) to your circuit.

3. Adjust Voltage: Turn the blue potentiometer (use a multimeter to verify output).

⚠ Important Notes:

• Heat Dissipation Required! The LM317 dissipates excess power as heat—use a heatsink for currents >500mA.

• Efficiency Warning: Linear regulators are less efficient than buck converters (e.g., LM2596) when input voltage is much higher than output.
