Hello! I'm new to this forum and hope this is the correct place to post about our project. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this.
I guess that everyone here has PSU to power your electronic devices, but sometimes bench-top PSU are too big, complex and not flexible when you build a prototype or working on some simple project. We developed DC One for such cases, I think it could be interesting for hobbyist and professionals.

DC One is an interlocking, programmable, single-channel DC power supply for electronic projects. The modular, flexible design of the DC One allows it to be used as a single-output DC adapter, or stacked to meet multiple DC output requirements. Its modularity also eliminates the unused cables that accompany most conventional power supply designs.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Provides convenient, portable power for varied applications
  • Reduces workspace clutter with small form factor
  • Stacks easily thanks to interlocking design
  • Offers maximum flexibility through battery or AC/DC converter
  • Includes both visual and audible warning in the event of an overload
  • Provides up to 12.5W of power with 12V input

Specifications
  • Input voltage,  2.7...15V
  • Output voltage,  2.5...14V
  • Max continuous current, 2.5A at 5V
  • USB connection, miniUSB
  • UART interface for Bluetooth, logic levels - 3.3V, power supply - 5V
  • Adjustable output current limit (this mode allows DC One to act as a current source to drive LEDs, etc.)
  • Measuring: input voltage, output voltage, output current
  • Control via USB and serial (with Bluetooth or USB-UART modules)
  • Indicating and signals: status LED (work/error), buzzer (overload/owerheat)
  • Reverse polarity and surge protection on input
  • Output short circuit and overvoltage protection
  • Thermal shutdown
  • ESD protection on all inputs and outputs

The DC One unit allows easy, intuitive control by PC, Mac, Linux or Android using USB or Bluetooth.
