• a circuit board will certainly help if I build more than a few of these gadgets, I spent long evenings with this home project, soldering all the wires. the control box contains the Espruino board in addition to the status LEDs, rotary encoder, some buttons and a 4x20 serial display. the box is used in bench testing and for showing the different functions of a power circuit that sits on a 6x6 inch demo board (not shown).

    Espruino allows me to easily interact with the system while the power converter is running. I can adjust set points and functions using the box, or connect over Bluetooth to monitor a a number of analog signals and take control during test sequences controlled by my PC.
    I use the SD card to store setups and probably will add a way to upgrade and modify the software over email or internet, so that customers can evaluate the power converter after customizing it for their special requirements.
