Re: AR 2 bench testing

That is a very light load - only about 200ma @ 5VDC, I use a 1 ohm 25 to 50
watt resistor as a load for testing powers supplies. That is 1 amp @ 5VDC,
and is a reasonable load for any power supply. I think it would be good to
just short the sense resistors out, as they only seem good to burn up, and
you can adjust the supply manually for the correct voltage.
