Simple 12V to 5V DC converter using linear regulator 7805.…
Simple 12V to 5V DC converter using linear regulator 7805. For the 7805 you can feed it until 35 VDC , not only 12V. The max output current around 1.5A.
In the picture, the input voltage to convert is connected to the left pin of the 7805 , central pin is the ground and the pin at the right is the output.
Inside the encapsulation of the 7805, there are several silicon components. The hole on the top is to tighten a heatsink, for temperature dissipation.

I love my Arduino - you've inspired me to get it out and build some stuff with it.

I am happy to hear that. I like it as well, a lot. Nearly any prototype project, can be done within it. Enjoy. And if you decide to jump to the WIFI connectivity, have a look to the Arduino with embedded ESP32.
Cheers.
I definitely will. I'm interested in some of the near field communication stuff...maybe seeing if key fobs are programmable without buying some crazy expensive tool ;)
You only need Arduino IDE, free, which is free and buy this part from Amazon. I did order 3 boards in that reference.15€ in total. And you need a USB-C cable.

The 7805 definitely needs a heatsink as these components get real hot!
