Title: More low hanging fruit

This looks pretty simple but I wanted to try it

I did not find a 7505 but I did have a 7808ct so I hooked it up and went with it

Looks like I forgot about having the capacitor close  xP

And the predictable results (I hope  xP )

It still was an eye opener seeing DC voltage appear at the output before the minimum input level

I wondered if the results might be wacked without a load resistor

Also at the end I felt the metal tab with my hand but it wasn't hot


Next I have to add some resistors and do some more stuff

Hmm now I hope these results agree with the data sheet  xP
