Excuse the computer-ignorant question, but when I think serial port, this is what comes to mind:
Is it required to have a computer with a serial port, so that one can use a USB-serial adapter (pictured below)?
The laptop I would want to use for data logging does not have a serial port - how would I connect a device like the YZXstudio 1270/1271/1276 to it for data logging in that case? Is mcpat’s software only useful if the computer can accept input from a serial port?
Should work, I bought this Ebay

Perfect, got it working after a couple tries with your instructions. Thanks a lot!
The ZL1100 uploads data via its micro usb port (which also powers the unit) with an inbuilt CH340G usb-serial converter. One of the unfortunate features of the load is that it updates at a ridiculously high rate. It would be handy if a software could limit the log writes to one sample per second for example.
Perfect. I will implement a sampling rate of 1second (or variable in settings, Not finished)

POWER-Z family:
Who knows which device the golden one in the top left corner is?
And where is it available to buy?
Recently i found out about the round shaped device in the lower right corner, It’s the POWER-Z wireless charging receiver board (BG001):

Is there some table that lists all the options and which each product has? Hard to keep track of, especially in english.

Ah, thank you thank you thank you!
I do believe the second link is broken though. Looks like the 1276 vs 1275 is a lesser model except for amp capacity

I can’t seem to find the power banks anywhere. Does YzxStudio still make them?

I guess that means no, the YzxStudio power banks are no longer available. Unless someone has a link to one

Hello there,
Updated the app:
should work with the ZL1100 load?
sample rate can be defined in settings, also path and logformat
But chart is not finished yet, therefore I removed the icon until finishing this function.
Download here

You’re welcome
I updated the second link again, no idea why it doesn’t work. Checked all permissions at google sheets, everything the same as the file in the first link.
But you’ll find the information here too:

I got the last one from Franky, but sad to hear this great powerbank isn’t available anymore.
Hi! Franky Tong here I’ve known about this forum through my customers for a while and finally decided to register for an account so I can post directly
I contacted YZXstudio just now and they told me there’s no plan to stop producing their power banks (perhaps it was another product KAAYEE was referrring to?). They will continue to make and improve them. I’m not sure who else would sell and ship them outside of China though.
