Inspired by Shockslayers mini project, I have made a Wii custom regulator testing unit. Its a simple project I started and finished this evening.

This is a custom regulator unit for the Wii, powered by a Wii brick, housed in a Wii brick, and uses the same power plug as a wii. Plug in a stock Wii power supply, and get 4 regulated outputs you can plug your test leads into. It uses some cheap adjustable buck converters for now, but I'm hoping to get a hold of some better regulators in the near future. I would also like to add a 5th output connected directly to the voltage in to have a direct 12v output.

The voltages are all adjustable, but I have it set to lowest on the left and highest on the right. So from left to right:

1v, gnd, 1.15v, gnd, 3.3v, gnd, 5v, gnd

Thanks. All the grounds have direct continuity to eachother. These outputs are not isolated, just a simple set of switching regulators.
