I have a variable power supply up to 30V if that is of any assistance while I work on this circuit. Assume I know nothing (apologies) which is unfortunately closer to the truth.
I pulled the amplifier module, 12V - 2A (per power supply), from a Dayton Audio amplifier. My intention is to build a bluetooth mono speaker. I have built my own speakers, etc but have scant experience designing powered circuits.
I have a bluetooth module, 5V - 2A.
I put together a voltage reducing circuit in an attempt to power both devices with a single 12V - 2A DC power supply. Since I did not take into account power, I smoked some resistors and it is unclear whether or not the BT module is functioning. Luckily, I bought spares!
I thought about and read some more about power. Increased resistance in the circuit. Circuit doesn't work now. Not sure where to start/stop.
So, clearly, I need guidance/help with designing this circuit.
Thanks in advance for any/all assistance.
