I have been watching your videos for a while now and this competition peaked my interest. Does the power supply project have to be a bench top lab power supply or can it be a DC-DC switching supply to power a product?
I would also like to add to this question.
1. Does it matter if its linear or switching?
2. Do we need to implement both voltage and current adjustments?
3. What voltage range must it cover, and how many amps output?
4. Do you expect some smart features like logging, micro controller circuit, multiple information on a LCD or similar?
I am asking all this as I have a power supply I built a few months ago, but there were some problems with proximity of bridge rectifier and high voltage stuff to low votage, and when bridge rectifier heats up it affects some resistors, thus affecting output. It is a basic power supply based on LM350 with a 10 turn pot and LCD display.
I was going to upgrade it with watt metter kit from Franky, but not sure if I am going to do current limiting circuit. Micro controllers are currently out of my "league"
With all these questions I wanted to get a "feel" of what is expected and don't want to embarrass myself with too basic presentation for you all
Keep on great work Martin.
Thanks,
Balsa
