I have a boatload of switchers that I intend to go through over the holidays.
I would like to build a test rig to hook each switcher up to and check voltages. What resistance should I use?
Do all 3 voltages require a load or just the +5? I noticed Randy Fromm's guide mentions using a 1ohm 50 watt resistor. I have a bazillion resistors - all 1/4 or 1/2 watt - is there a way I can make a large series resistor that can serve as a load?
Thanks for any input.
