How do you set this to convert 5V to 12V? Is this recommended for electronic projects?

There is a tiny lever on top of the blue box (between two capacitors). You may turn the lever with a small flat screw driver to adjust the output voltage.

Byoung's answer is right on. One word of advice: set the voltage while there is a load on the output. This could simply be a resistor of 100 ohms or so...don't go above that value of the current will be too low, and don't go below 50 ohm or you might fry your resistor (if using 1/4 watt resistors). When you get the output voltage set with the resistor, replace the resistor with your normal load and confirm that it's still where it's supposed to be.

There is a tiny knob with a flat slit that you turn. Very useful for modest projects! It can be set to any voltage that's higher than input voltage. I put a 3.6 voltage to set it up first because i wasn't sure if it is safe to put a voltage in that's higher than what it is set to output. Vi>Vo might cause damage to similar devices. It gives good amount of current. Makes a good device for experimenting because it is flexible and feels well built.

You need to find a AC adapter which output voltage is 12.5V, output current is 2.5A. Go to the market to find one.

I also bought this . It only works on a 24 volt dc system. Mine was not advertised to convert from a 12 volt dc source.

Yes. For my project I need 5v they have an adjustable voyage regular on them. So what ever voltage you need you set it.

You must have a rectifier to produce 12VDC from 110VCA. You do not need this. Just a step down110/12VCA will do

The unit requires 5 volts . Therefore , you must use a plug in that reduces the voltage from 12 volt to 5 volt . The one they send with the unit does that . I am quite pleased with my unit .

theres no usb port can use 12 volt. all of them only can carry (originaly) 5 volts.

This product is designed to work with 12v DC. To convert 12v AC to DC, purchase an inexpensive bridge rectifier. Should cost around $3 each.

Inverter needs 12 V input from the battery and will convert it to 120V for home use

for sure. or you can use a controller that changes it back to 12 volt. controller is key either way

I confirm what it as been said before by the others, no problem unless you use it with a very sensitive equipment. Another way to do it is to use a 14v adapter to get 12v at the end if you have a voltage drop. But normally the equipment have a tolerance and you should be good.

The system work with 12 Vd.c. only if you want you can buy a converter or adaptor but you need 12 Vdc in output, not work with usb power

Use a flat screwdriver for the resistor you pointed out. I cranked mine up to 13v with no issues. I use about 15 amps for a ham radio transceiver.

The easy way is to get an inverter like this: http://amzn.com/B004MDXS0U and plug a 110V power supply into it. A cheaper way would be to use a voltage regulator to provide the 7.4V, but that requires some skill with electronics.

Yes. It will work from 12v or 24v. Use a momentary switch or a rocker switch with it so you can turn it on and off.. or just hardwired it in and it will be on the whole time.

The output of 3 volt can be done but I am not sure about 12V I would need to do a test. Will keep you posted.

Just 120 V input. You may be able to get an adapter separately that would work. I'd check for options that are online.
