The Modular Bench Power Supply ++ - Simple Display Setup

Robert Peter Oakes

13 Nov 2014

This is the start of the next blog in my series for the LAB bench power supply, in this video I will explore an option of using dedicated Digital displays to show the current and Voltage and how having a display with differential inputs can help eliminate errors

    there not actually power meters, the ones I got from Newark/Farnell are simply 5V powered, 3.5 digit, +-200mV FSD. (I know an analogue term) but I used a select low value resistor to convert the current…

    Hi Peter,

     

    Wow the videos are really professional. And the lab looks great : )

    I didn't get to watch it all, but it looks like the project is proceeding well!! There is a lot of content for people to learn from,from all the measurements/prototyping you're doing.

    Hi Peter, I have watched the video and enjoyed your presentation. Those little panel meters are very cool. I will have to check one out. If you are north and east of me in Canada as I suspect it means that you too like to work the late night hours. I usually to come to my shop about 11PM and I usually stay until 2AM. Keep up the good work, I am eager to see how all the parts of the power supply get tied together.
