Lightning Power Supply ECE342-Sp20
For our project, we designed a PC controlled power supply. We intend to use it to supply power as we can not always use batteries for all our equipment as some of them require power up to 30V DC. For that purpose, we designed a power supply that can convert the 110V AC from the wall outlet to the required DC voltage of the gadget. We have made the system totally safe to use, some of our key technologies we implemented were a cooling fan to prevent the system from overheating. We also used high temperature and smoke sensors to make sure that the system would shut off whenever one of the alarms were triggered. We faced many challenges building this and the biggest one was that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we went back to our home country and were not able to acquire all parts as we are on lockdown, so all we could do was create simulations.
