dear Orbit , i always no that 7812 means 12 volts , what i wanna know , is this 7812 the right components for this board because the batt is 12 volts and to work , the 7812 must have at the " in " pin " more than 12 volts datsheet said input voltage from 14 to 35 volts but the batt is only 12 volts ???
Linear regulators like the LM7812 have a minimum "dropout voltage" or "headroom"- for the LM78xx family, this is about 2 volts. This means that the minimum input voltage required for the regulator to work is about 2 volts above the output voltage, so you'll need at least 14 volts into the LM7812 to get 12 volts out.
unless the diagram includes a laplace type voltage doubler which would give a suitable voltage to operate the 7812 ??? that's for this reason i need this shematic
see pic before i desold it
