Portable Bench Top power supply using the DPS5015 - FINISHED, for now

[Texas_Ace]

Very interesting idea, turns it into a data logger as well. That could be very useful.

I’d be interested in the logging too. Installed the software but didn’t find an option for it though.

Here are the links to the software

But with MediaFire you have to be careful you don’t install some unwanted software!

Both units are in his store under New Arrivals:

@dchomak

I will, but the links you provide for the product are incomplete. It looks like they were truncated when you copy and pasted them into the forum editor.

I am so sorry for what happened, I did not check it agaon, I though it can work, now please check the link again

The new Comms version looks very interesting. Does it support logging to a text file over time? This would be a great selling point, writing Time, Voltage, and Current to a text file on a user selectable time period.

On a related note, I finished building out my 5015 in the turret type housing a couple weeks ago. I guess I forgot to post the pics. I wanted to have the output on the front side for easier access, so I 3D printed a small adapter to allow me to mount some Anderson Power Pole connectors in a round hole.

A step drill bit and a little file work gets me a keyed hole in the front.

A trip to the hardware store for a longer version of the right size roll pin that holds PP’s together also holds them in the adapter and the adapter in the housing.

It was a bit of a chore to get the wires inserted and neatly run inside the housing, but I only had to do it once.

thank you for your work, i like this , if you buy communication version, you can make open for commmunication interface

Several people would like software to log data to a file.
Like this:
Check box to log data_
Logging period:xx_ (enter number in milliseconds)
Filename_

When the box is checked,every xx milliseconds the time, voltage and current is appended to the filename specified. This would allow users to have a record of the voltage and current draw as a load changed over time.

[maukka]

Got a reply at Aliexpress, there’s no logging at this stage.

@gauss163

@RD Tech Kudos for listening to our requests for a communication interface. Is there any plan to do likewise for other models? Perfect would be a higher-powered buck+boost module with a communication interface. That would likely be very popular.

thank you for your message , yes, we are planing to design other power supply communication function
if we success, i will tell you

sorry, there is no this function .

yes, I should reply, because there are 2 friends to ask this question

@gauss163

Unbelievable that logging was not implemented - that’s one of the primary motivations for implementing such communication. Like many, I’ll wait for logging before purchasing.

Not to mention that the initial versions of many RD Tech products often have (serious) bugs (and the only solution he offers involves soldering surface mount components - not something a buyer should have to do). Instead, he should offer to replace such buggy modules. As such, I cannot recommend purchasing (early versions of) RD Tech products. It is despicable to use paying customers as alpha/beta testers. It’s a unfortunate that they choose to spoil their reputation this way.

it is just control by PC, no log function
thank you

Milwaukee Rendition of Dchomak’s Power Pack, only updated, better looking and can also raise the voltage. (Buck Boost)!

[fbdesigns]

From start to finish Pictures

Note the 18Volt 9ah Pack and achieving the same voltage with a 12 Volt Pack

[RD_tech]

very good . friend
I like it
have a nice day

Nice job FB! And 2 types of batteries can be used, the 18V and the 12V. I had read about those 18V 9Ah packs. I’m guessing they are full of 15 of the Samsung 30Q’s

And yeah you’re right. Milwaukee Red looks better than Ridgid Orange.

Would you test how high a useable voltage yours will output at, say about 3A with the 12V battery used as the source?

I have Kill the Output Fuse of the DPS5015.
I found this Replacement: SMD 1206 Sicherung 0501020.WR - 20A/32V - 1 Stck., 2 Stück, 5 Stück oder 10 Stück - NEU | eBay
It looks the same… Should fit or?
