Some ideas for a domestic antitheft system... and probably more.

Hi.

A little update about the project status...
I've built a prototype of a new switching power supply as suggested by Dario. Below is a picture. I was able to test it at 400mAmps and a Vin Max of 31Volt DC.
The output voltage is 5V. I've measured about 200mV of ripple in these conditions.
I think it's good and I'll integrate as soon as possible in the target board.

Thanks!

Marco.
