Three linear supplies (12V, 5V, 3.3V) and a Pico - that's all we really need.

Pico surely makes life alot easier for novice DIYers like me. I believe it also helps SQ indirectly by reducing the number of relays/power switches in the power supplies.

On a side note, don't hesitate to aim for "overkill" capacity when building these supplies. I built the the 5v, 12v, and 3.3V supplies with 130VA trafo/LT1083, ~130VA/LT1084, and 30VA/LT1086, respectively. You could use a smaller transformer for the 12V supply, though. My 12V supply is excessively big only because it's the same one I used to power the Pico in its full glory.
