Thanks Ray, I've added that to my own list of vendors:

   https://service.robots.org.nz/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Vendors

As has been noted, it's missing Pololu but also Pimoroni, 4Tronix,
PiBorg, PiJuice, many of her current competitors. Not sure if that's
deliberate or more likely because her wiki page was last updated in 2011.

She may need to update her wiki page regarding Tanner Electronics...

I investigated the Castle Creations BEC but found that in order to
adjust the voltage one needs a Windows based application and an
additional US$20 USB device. A simpler alternative looks to be a
switching regulator from Dimension Engineering, a the DE-SWADJ, rated
3-8V @ 3A, 25W, input 5-32V input, 10g weight:

   https://www.dimensionengineering.com/products/de-swadj3

which just uses a trim pot for adjustment.

Cheers,

Murray

     The rice leaves in the garden
     Rustle in the autumn wind
     That blows through my reed hut.
