Cautions
You need to know the pins of all components. You need to
do them correct only. For example, I put the wrong
electrolytic capacitor. When entering the power supply,
causing it to burst. I was shocked too much. But I do not
discontinue this project.

Look at pin connection of 7912, 7812, diode and an

electrolytic capacitor.
(https://www.eleccircuit.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/03/Electrolytic-diode-led-
conection-pins.png)
You must connect pins of electrolytic capacitors, diode
and LED. It does not work and destroy.

We often use a 78xx series. So, you can use 7812 is

same.

But…

7912 Pinout

Be careful 7912 pinouts is not the same 7812. It is

difference pins input and ground. I switched it. My 7912
is too hot. Please look at it again.
