Dodge,
Per angerdan reply, I would love to know how you are currently ranking/recommending these USB testers, load testers, etc.
On the high end, I was looking at the AVZzY CT-2 (KT001) tester on Amazon @ $77 & YZXStudio ZY1280 @ $ 51 from fasttech.com
On the low end there is the MakerHawk(?Rui Deng clone?) UM34C $29 and UM25C also $29 on Amazon
I also wanted to buy a USB load tester like the one you used in the UM34c video, and there was a MakerHawk USB Load Tester 150W 200V for about $38. Can’t seem to find many other more powerful load tester reviews, though I read up on a few at Lygte-Info.dk.
My usage is primarily moving to QC 3.0 and Power Delivery wall chargers, and testing them to make sure they work correctly w/my various Android/iPhones/iPADS, etc.
Here is the comment from your KT001 video w/the comparisons between the testers from one of the comments.
Zy1276 pros;
- more accurate data (according to a taobao shop)
- faster data update rate
- Bluetooth (pc software is a little bit disappointing)
- frequent fw update (Upgrading fw needs programmer)
- cheaper than kt001
Zy1276 cons:
- can’t powered externally (only works with input voltage higher than 3.5v)
- upgrading fw needs stlink programmer
Kt001 pros:
- external power over microusb (this enables measuring rom 0v to maximum voltage it can tolerate)
- datalogging
- firmware upgradable over usb
- better pc software
Kt001 cons:
- less accurate
- more expensive
- firmware updates are less frequent
I was curious if you have determined if these pros/cons are still accurate after more time w/the KT001/1276(1280similar) since u first tested them?
