You can have usual power supply or this controllable power supply which is really good for experiments – SIRU.BOX.

The power supply with output power voltage up to 15V and output current is up to 600mA (max 2.5W) can be helpful for experiments and also for lasting powering of devices where the input current of device is fluctuating.

Siru.box is powered from USB port with USB 2.0, it is not necessary to install drivers, so the device is supported in Windows, Linux and also e.g. Raspberry Pi.

The base part of project is DC/DC controlled by microcontroller.

One more advantage of this project is supporting of python script. So you can easily control the power supply by own python script.

For the future, the designer plans other power supply with 15W version and USB Type C.
