Replacing the linear elements with switchers means more noise in the power lines. How much more, and whether it’s noticeable or tolerable will be down to you.

After 9 days, the upvotes and downvotes are tied so nothing changes for now, but we can revisit later.

Personally, I’d prefer organic growth rather than reposting stuff from Reddit.

Sorry - questions go in Askelectronics - sidebar shoulda told ya.

Hi, just FYI, a better place for questions is AskElectronics. This is a good place to showcase your finished project. Hope it goes well.
