I am considering this module for a project but wondered if anyone knew of a better module to suit lower current applications (1A max instead of 4A)? It needs to be fairly small (this is 4.1 x 2.1 x 1.3cm) and still work at lower input voltage (say 3-6V, to provide 7.5-9V).

Pololu seem to have a nice range of modules but I'd prefer something more budget friendly.
I got 2 of these a while back…they work well, used those .36 volt display, voltage and current adjustment

I just got 2 of these in, voltage AND current control, and has built in displays but are a bit larger
These are much smaller

Thank you! This one looks perfect but it’s step down?

I have the last one from FT with red PCB but it puts out 5V max; the trim pot is just fine adjustment, which makes me hesistant to try the other one labelled for up to 9V It’s fine, I was being too gentle with the pot. >.<
