Bought my first "bench" power supply 😁 (images2.imgbox.com)

I’ve been in need of a bench supply for a while, up to this point I’ve been using little buck/boost boards with a multimeter to get the voltage I want when working on a project. The limitations of that started to show though, so I was after a more ideal solution....

Just to throw another option out there for people looking:

I use a separate power supply mounted underneath my desk to drive it, so the presence on top of my desk is minimal. They have some rated for lower amps if you want to save a bit of money.

You can give it anything up to 60v or something like that. I just used a spare 24v PSU, but that means it can’t output more than 23v.

I currently own the 6a model but need more and super happy with it, so I have the larger model linked above on order. I haven’t figured out what to power it with yet, I’ll probably just find some cheap PSU on amazon.

They give you data logging, and will even graph consumption on the display live.

I designed a mount to put it on my pegboard
