How to dimension a power supply transformer?


I always hesitate when dimensioning a transformer for a DC power supply, and I guess I sometimes overdimension them. My confusion stems from the difference in transformer and DC voltage.

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
