The objective of this project was to create a PC-controlled DC-DC power supply. It needed to have a voltage range of 2-14 Volts while having up to a current max of 1.5 Amps. It needed to have 2 output channels. To accomplish this we used two Arduino Uno R3s, buck converters, digital potentiometers, and LCD. There was an additional engineering requirement that was added that involved the creation and implementation of a heat sensor. Future improvements are cleaning up the system and lowering it down to only needing one microcontroller improving the casing to fully incorporate everything that needs to be displayed and adding another LCD display.
