Notes.

  • Take careful note of the pins outs of the LM317/350 regulator. Don't confuse them with the pinouts of the 78XX regulators. Check the LM317/350 data sheets.
  • Use a heat sink on the regulator. 
  • Also use a 24V or 12v-12v transformer. The 30V transformer is RMS, 42V P2P,  and exceeds the input limit to the LM350 (40v)
