The power supply for this unit is a simple linear supply regulated to 5V. The transformer I used was actually a unit salvaged from a wall-wart power supply, providing 9VAC at about 400 mA. The AC voltage is passed through bridge rectifier B1 and filtered by C1. A National Semiconductor LM2490 was chosen as a regulator for its high efficiency and low dropout voltage, but a standard LM7805 could be used just as easily. C2 provides filtering post-regulation. All components were chosen for low price and small size (the case I used was only 2" x 4" x 1.5"). If you build this from this design, be sure not to omit the proper switching and fusing components.
