Update: PSU with regulate output
It is a better idea to have the ATX set up in a box and to use the ATX connector to connect to the banana plugs. Basically, it is then possible to have the 5 usual plugs (GND, +3.3, +5, +12, -12) and add a regulated output (0-12V). The visualization for that regulated output can be analogical.
That would be great to have a current limiter on that regulated output also.
It might be possible to use a LM317 for the voltage control.
Options
I suppose it is good to have at least 2 LEDs, a red and a green, each with a 220Ω resistor in series. turning on the PSU can be done with a SPDT switch, that is: on1 - on2.
- red LED is between on1 and purple (standby 5V)
- green LED is between grey (power OK) and on2 (or GND, for that matter)
- green cable is soldered onto on2
- middle point of the SPDT switch is on GND
this has the following consequences:
- when PSU is on mains and switched off, the red LED is on
- when flipping the switch, PSU turns on ; after about a second the green LED lights, indicating all is good.
I feel like wasting time, so here's some crappy ASCII art for this:
green-----------------
(grn) |
grey----R----|>|--o o--------ON2
| / ←{ this here is the SPDT switch }
GND---------------o--------o/
(red)
purple--R----|>|--------------ON1
