Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new bread board power station, perfect for helping to prototype electronic projects. Simply attach the power station to your bread board and it can provide a wide variety of different voltages in the form of 3.3V, 5V, +12V,-12V as well as adjustable voltages between 1V-25V with currents up to 1.5A. Created by electronics engineer and solutions developer Walid Issa based in Sheffield in the United Kingdom. The mini power station is perfect for the hobbyist, developer and maker. Backer early bird pledges are now available for the electronics project from roughly $40 or £30 (depending on current exchange rates).
Mini bread board power station features
“The board has been tested under the highest current of 1.5A and a thermal top and side view are shown below. The board can be considered warm where the temperature is not exceeding 53°C. 1st Stretch goal | £70k: TikStation with OLED An OLED display will be added to display the voltages and currents for each output. 2nd Stretch goal | £90k: Master Electronics Kit The board will be produced as a kit with all required basic electronic parts to start your projects, i.e., Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, LEDs, Diodes, Transistors, Motors, Sensors, Lamps, Soldering Iron and Multimeter”
If the Mini Power Station crowd funding campaign successfully raises its required pledge goal and production progresses smoothly, worldwide shipping is expected to take place sometime around March 2022.
