Together with [studio] and a BB3 there will be some example dashboards in the near future. For example a application:
Modes: Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), Constant Power (CP) and Constand Resistance (CR). CC and CV are implemented in hardware, CP and CR are software controlled and have a slower dynamic response. Limits: Current: 1mA - 10A set and read Voltage…

EL-Load-Power-MCU: common questions
What microcontroller does the EL-Load-Power-MCU use?
The EL-Load-Power-MCU is built around the SC0915, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the EL-Load-Power-MCU PCB?
The EL-Load-Power-MCU measures 179 × 72.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.592 mm thick.
How many components are on the EL-Load-Power-MCU?
129 components, from 59 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the EL-Load-Power-MCU design files?
From the fietser28/EL-Load repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the EL-Load-Power-MCU design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with fietser28. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the EL-Load-Power-MCU without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
