    Help me understand this linear supply circuit.

    Was looking for a simple CV CC linear supply to build and came across this one.

    https://oshwlab.com/svalentin544/lab...ply-0-38v-0-5a

    I etched the provided board design and populated it.

    The output voltage adjustment works.
    ​​​​​​
    The output current adjustment however, doesn't behave like I expected it to be. If PR2 is going clockwise, the output voltage decrease. Adjusting R5 has no effect.

    I don't have a load connected to the output at all.

    ​​​Can someone explain how the current adjustment work? is it supposed to behave like that?

    Nevermind. Circuit doesn't work at all regardless of what I do.

    I set the output voltage at 12V, and connected a 12V fan as a load. Voltage immediately tanked to 2.3V
