Hey thank you forum people. Originally (2 weeks ago) I did get B1209-2W. When I went back to (S) AI it then tells me about the regulated version of the same module. This is the first time having ever talked to an AI. I kept up loading my layout and even though I thought I had clearly laid everything out SAI would tell me something was wrong. How many times it would say "oh my bad" or "You're correct I misread blah blah blah. I had never heard of these dc/dc converters though, which I was told ALL the high end power supply makers are doing it this way and are able to charge big bucks as well (I'm making mine solely (like my pedals) for myself and thus put me on a quest for one. I did end up getting IB1209s-2WR3 or 3R and from what I can find these modules can take a wider variance in the input voltage. while giving a supposed solid 9vdc @ 222mA .
One of my hopes was the led lights up when the jack is in use also showing it works. Wasn't sure if that is wired correctly and will have to check how the switch works in the jack. Can't be that hard. but maybe it is my thought was wire the negative of the led to the switch lug on the dc jack so when plugged into I thought it would go to grd and light up the LED
I missed that one when I was looking through, good catch. "Suitable when the requirement for a tight output regulation is not as strict."
this why I went to the IB1209S version. The "I" suffix stands for the regulated version.
"So when whatever AI tool helped design this said it would rival higher end power supplies, it was just typical baseless AI flattery. Will the supply work (once you flip the diode around)? I absolutely expect that it will. Will it rival a high-end power supply? No it will not. Low current, unregulated, and assuming whatever AC/DC 12V supply it's fed from is going to be "clean enough" is not the way high-end supplies are designed."
yeah probably shoulda done a bit more research. Want/need one so bad and fell into the bullshit lines of all the high end . What caught me is the fact of it being transformless less weight less heat cause according to my layout partner most of my analog pedals 98% of them will never need even 100mA and I have an amazing layout and my layout is equal to or can rival some of the more expensive models ... yeah I fell for it .... but still should at least be better than the piece of shit cheap unisolated noisy supply from Shamazon only good thing it had a 12 and 18 volt outs.
So I did notice this air about how it chatted with me. I had to keep telling it things too. like there are 12 not 10 " oh your right silly me " . Wow , all I hear is how incredibly helpful and this and that cause whatever AI thing I got had the whole internet and I was correcting it quite a lot and I don't know shit ( hence the backwards Diode which is why I submitted it here )
so aside from the diode issue anything anyone of you would add to the layout filtering wise ? Anything else I missed. I will look into some higher current converters and adding in some 12 and 18 volts outlets. later now maybe a second board. I haven't made my board yet wanted to get some more Eyes on it first and again really appreciate the input and your time.
