Hi, I have made a simple 12v to 5v circuit using the 7805 + heatsink and want to stress test the output for a few hours at 1A, then if that's stable another hour on 1.5A, etc.
What is the best way to do this?
I know what I technically need is a 5watt, 5ohm resistor from Vout to GND, but they don't exist as far as I know (only 1/4 watt, etc)
Anyone know of any other devices or ideas how I can do this?
