i am building a bench power supply out of a old 600W pc power supply
i am building a bench power supply out of a old 600W pc power supply
i am going to do this later
i tried to make a boost converter for like 5 hours and it just didn’t work at all my guess is that it was do to the inductor. anyway i decided i will do that latter so i started working on sorting wires(fun) and while doing that i got ideas
usb:
so i learned this has a +5VSB and by found out i mean i actually read thought the data sheet like 30 hours in to this project and i want to add a usb port on it so i can power Arduinos my fume extractor and other things
-12V:
i original wrote this off because i hade a +12 but it turns out it is fun. and if it is there why not add another output it wont have a current sensor because it can only output up to 0.3A so why even bother
case:
i am going to have to make a new case because the current one cant fit everything so i am going to do that tomorrow and this should also allow for me to move where the rotory encoder it becouse before i put it in a bad spot becouse i didnt have space
boost:
i might switch the boost converter to the 12v rail idk yet just though i would menchin it
i took a break to work on other projects while the parts i ordered arive but he is what i got working
display:
i got the display showing things after a lot of tutorials but i figured it out the funny
sensor:
once again i needed a lot of tutorials but i got it to kind of work but is was slightly off i think i just need to tune the sensor its just really finicky
so i have once again redesigned everything
AC:
i wanted to add an ac output. why you may ask idk its funny. anyways i add an inverter after the boost converter and another output and to read the voltage of the ac output i added a ZMPT101B and i plan on making a sorta oscilloscope to the ac output cause it cool
Display:
i switch to a bigger spi oled because it can be controlled by digital pins and i need the analog pins to read the new outputs
i forgot to post for a while. i made a lot of changes to the case because i printed out the old case and there is no way i could fit that much circuitry in that
case:
i made the case bigger to allow for a bigger face plate to fit more circuits and stuff and i added a small pocket in the back to store wires
display:
i switch to using an OLED I2C display because i kind of didn’t under stand that an lcd could not display enough info
schematic:
i just remade it because it was hard to loo at the old one
i have an old pc power supply and i want to make it into a bench power supply so i can have a bench power supply that can do high current
the plan is to make it have 4 out puts:
input:
it will be controlled by a rotary encoder because it has all the inputs i need for this in one component
display:
it will use an lcd display because i already have one. i want to display current draw voltage and wattage
brain:
i am going to use a nano becouse i have a few of them and it is small so it should fit in this small thing
outputs:
i am going to output with banana jacks so i can easily plug stuff in to it and i am going to add leds so you know what out put you are monitoring
case:
it is a frame that goes around the cornors of the power supply while keeping it open to alow air flow then the face hold the power supply in with screws
