Bug Description

Voltage regulator calculator is nice touch but it does not cover 3-pin regulators (actually it still works out if Iref is small but the R1 and R2 values are swapped).

It would be nice to add selection of 3-pin or other regulators. Also it would be nice to have list of regulators to choose from (combo box) so that mere selection of the regulator, sets Vref, Iref, voltage limits etc. and display suitable schematic instead of generic one currently used.

Just tested it in BZR-3976 and it does work. In fact implementation offers more than what I expected. The .pcbcalc file was not pre-selected during installation so one has to navigate from MyDocuments to shared library but this only has to be done once. Good job.

Thank you guys...
