Nor the diodes, or transformer. The transformer is to step the voltage down, the diodes to rectify it to pulsed DC, and the capacitors to smooth the pulsed DC into a constant DC voltage. You can drop the 3.3K 1 watt resistor as well, as it looks like it is being used as a bleeddown. Personally, I would remove the LED as well, as it is going to be a constant voltage drop, and thus will prevent the output from ever reaching its maximum voltage. To simplify the design, I would use an LM317T instead of the 7805. That, along with one resistor, is all that is needed to make a constant-current supply. If the resistor is in series with, or replaced by, a potentiometer, you would be able to easily adjust the current delivered. -- Best regards, Solar mailto:[email protected]
