Detailed Review:
Finally, my video is up on YouTube. At the beginning of this journey, I thought that 10 minutes was a lot... well, I was wrong. I ended with a lot of videos and ideas.
I use bench power supplies most of the time to test and validate some ideas - and working with a small form factor workbench power supply that has:
was a nice experience. Furthermore, as the outputs are isolated, a new set of opportunities were presented.
The multicompPRO MP710081 also has a USB to UART/Serial port connection (with the commands provided by the manufacturer), which I found nice and it will allow in the future to script some interesting applications.
I hope you enjoy the video, it was a first - and it required more than expected time - but it was a really nice experience.
