Call that a power supply?

This cane into my inbox from Crowd Supply:

Any of you electronics interested?

We don’t have a shortage of psu’s at the moment :grinning:

It’s all open source, so we could

We have 5 different power supply, and good one (if I’m not wrong one is an HP)

If we stopped doing things that weren’t necessary around here we’d decend into Anarchy. Anarchy!

I know you’ve said there are too many power supplies, but I don’t think thats the case, it’s useful to have multiple power supplies when working on complex projects, manufacturers even sell power supplies with multiple 3-5 different outputs for this reason.

I am sure @joeatkin2 would agree.

At the moment we can supply 15 different voltages the only thing missing is a high current supply .
I don’t think that we need another one for the time being

but what will I run my Tesla coil on?

There is a HT transformer kicking around somewhere

Excellent.

I’m impressed by their simulator(s)for development. That’s something I’d like there to more prior art of.

Not another no, but there isn’t too many… as for high voltage you mean HV DC? There is a variac or two around, although as I understand that doesn’t give a proper AC wave? Or am I confused?

High current.

Yeah, I just posted this up for interest: I’ve never seen aconputer programmable PSU, AFAIK. And wouldn’t know what it’s for either. But: completely open source, modular, Arduino, and the dev environment! And pretty cheap if it’s anything like what it claims.

Computer controlled instruments was just the presurve of high very expensive kit , for use in automatic test rigs

Due to the weak £ this one comes out at £345

It’s getting more common in cheap kit
