This ATX Power supply breakout board enables users to use an ATX power unit as a benchtop power supply. The project can be very useful to power physical computing, embedded, microcontroller projects, etc. The board provides 4 different voltages 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V, and a slide switch is provided for output ON/OFF. All lines have LEDs. Basically, the project splits 20 or 24-pin ATX power supply connector into 4 different power lines. All outputs are accessible through banana connectors.

Note: The board can also be connected to a very old type of ATX SMPS with -5V output, in this case, use Jumper J1 to select the -5V and CN4 banana connector to provide -5V output. Otherwise, connect the Jumper J1 to GND and CN4 is available as GND output.
