Curiously, I’ve been wanting to put in writing up the XIAO Powerbread product for fairly some time. In a uncommon peek behind the scenes, we right here on the Tindie weblog solely have a tendency to put in writing about merchandise which are in inventory on the time of writing. Some time in the past I got here throughout the XIAO Powerbread and promptly purchased one and, naturally, my buy took it out of inventory!

Now again in inventory, the XIAO Powerbread is a wonderful and intelligent breadboard energy provide. Whereas there are many breadboard energy provides accessible, this one has options that take it a notch above most. It provides two outputs of the generally used 3.3 V and 5 V. With the built-in LCD show the onboard voltage and present sensing capabilities are clearly proven and up to date in actual time. It’s glorious to have the ability to see voltage, present and energy use.

Equipped as both a equipment or assembled the XIAO Powerbread utilises an onboard RP2040 IC and your complete challenge is open supply. There’s point out on the product web page that future updates would possibly embody extra performance equivalent to USB serial communication and even PWM management. Nonetheless, as a strong energy provide able to delivering as much as 1.5A it’s a incredible software to have in your desk because it stands.
