Yeah. I would like the ability to wire up a readout for output. If you can buuld it ill throw a little your way for your effort. Either way this is way cheaper than my alternative to drive these. Also that two way limit switch for two option if able. Not sure how easy that is to add in but woyld be nice to have a switch for 10A or 20A max so I dont pop a 200$ diode
I think I’ve got a way to do that pretty easily. I’ll add that to PCB modifications to make.
Definitely, a readout would be super handy.
I'd love to have it Open Source as well
How is 1mV/A? Is something like that sufficient?
I’ll count your vote. I’ll know in 1 – 2 weeks. It will probably depend on interest and the results of prototype testing.
I think you can keep the series diode in the circuit. Just add an option for a jumper so if it is not needed, you can simply add a link on the PCB.
If you don't mind, can you share what controller IC you used?
It would take a heavily heat sinked MOSFET to do this – which will add some PCB area and space in the enclosure.
Or a very beefy SPDT switch.
Not sure if either of those options are viable – but I’ll look into further possibilities.
Things is, you don’t just “jump” 50A connections quite so easily.
EDIT: Here's a hint for you:
Its based on a POLA non-isolated switching board. With the right features, one can be made to regulate current flow!
