materials

-1x7805 voltage regulator (required)
-1x 9v battery clips (required)

soldering iron (required)
project case (optional)
scrap wire (optional)
if you do not want to use the switch then u can just solder the positive battery lead to the left prong of the 5v regulator. If your not going to use the LED then you wont need the 150ohm resistor. You can just use the second method
listed below.
cost of products(not including the solder and the soldering iron and the project case) using first method: $16.06 (after tax)
cost of products(not including the solder and the soldering iron and the project case) using second method $9.47 (after tax)
