Hello,
I believe the VP-X is a great product. I have developed dozens of electronic boards in my career, and current draw is probably the best way to realize without full functional tests that everything is intact.
However, I am finding it hard to put myself into a situation of being depended on a 3rd party, even though that by reading reviews and comments, seems like Chad is providing excellent support and planning on supporting this product for many years to come.
I wonder if someone here already developed similar system of measuring the various power lines.
If not, i thought about opening a shared open-source project.
Planning on using the following components:
1. High current sense resistor, or contactless current probe to enable easy retro fit, and to avoid the changes of grounding the system in case of a system failure.
2. Maxim seems to have the perfect device for it : https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/analog/amplifiers/MAX4210.html
3. Measuring the output and displaying it on a monochrome LCD by using Arduino Duo. I can easily modify it into extended temperature and add in-rush and over voltage protection.
4. coating with non-conformal coating.
Comments?!
has this already been done here and I missed it?
