Extra Notes:

Usage Tip:

Adjust the output voltage carefully using the potentiometer to meet your specific voltage needs.
Ensure proper heat dissipation and cooling, especially when operating the module near its maximum current and voltage limits.
When adjusting the output voltage, if attempting to match the input voltage, turn the potentiometer until the value changes. Note that the potentiometer can typically be turned around 20-40 times to cover its full range of adjustment.

Caution:

Be cautious when working with higher input voltages, and ensure the output voltage is within safe limits for your components.
Follow safety precautions when handling and connecting power sources to the module to prevent electrical hazards.
