Just wondering... is it possible to test system to check if GPUSB is making connection etc using the simulater instead of a real camera when doing calibration? I know that the GPUSB check programme would do this but will the mount callibrate when using the simulated camera

Jake,
Pete is quite right with the 'older' components such as std 7800 series regulators BUT... they do work and the component I use if the current consumption isnt an issue is the old Variable voltage regulators LM317 series. 317's go up to 1.5A but the LM338 deliverers 5A. Lots of suppliers for these inc Technobots etc. Cheap! and only need two caps and two resistors to get a voltage range between 1.2 to 32V within the input range 4 to 35V
