I keep getting 5.04v tried adding a v resistor to the gnd

Marc :-P


do you mean you put a resistor in series with the gnd pin? That would only let you go up from 5V, not down to 4.


You should get the right regulator.

If you're really stuck, have to use that regulator, and have a negative supply available, you could always run the gnd pin at -1V.... Thats pretty ugly though.
