This is a follow-up post to my previous project page Part 1 (Requirements). In the last part I laid out the requirements and specifications of my active load without going too much into detail. This is about to change while I write about the different implementation details. The main task of the active load is… Continue reading Project: Active load with microcontroller – Part 2: Hardware design details

This time I would like to write about a project of mine: A (simple) active load with support from a microcontroller. There are times when you need a dummy load to test and validate some equipment or part of a schematic, e.g. a power supply. In the past I just used some power resistors as… Continue reading Project: Active load with microcontroller – Part 1: Requirements
