I think the target market was more for Collage/University labs which would
already be equipped with Bench power supply's.
If your friend is serious about learning and experimenting in electronics
he will need a Bench Supply sooner rather than later anyway, so It may be a
good idea to budget for one early and just run the board off 2
9V battery's until then.
