This variable voltage supply is built on the LM317 variable voltage regulator integrated circuit. It is based on one by van Roon. The left hand circuit in TvR's original can be replaced with an ATX computer power supply. The right hand circuit in TvR's original was replaced by a handheld voltmeter. This variable voltage regulator supplies 1.2VDC - 32VDC at about 1.5 amps.
