What is it?

The Purple Squirrel breadboard power supply kit (based on the SparkFun version) takes power from a DC wall wart and give you a selectable 5V or 3.3V regulated voltage. With 0.1" headers mounted on the bottom of the PCB the Purple Squirrel Bread Board Power Supply allows simple insertion into a breadboard.

Pins labeled VCC and GND plug directly into the power lines while the lone pair of pins have no electrical connection they do help support the PCB.

There are two pins available within the barrel jack footprint. Any stripped +/- DC supply can be connected instead of the barrel connector. Board has both an On/Off switch and a voltage select switch (3.3V/5V).

NOTE: This product is un-assembled. The pictures shown are of an assembled version.
