This channel is a treasure trove of knowledge. Thanks for all your work !

It's already very versatile. The next version might have an integrated coffee warmer. Pcbway really has a lot of interesting products.

That yellow connector is an XT 60amp. Miniware stuff is popular among RC enthusiasts, and those XT connectors are typical for (modern) lipo battery leads. I use them instead of older connectors like the Anderson power pole or deans. If I hadn't already bought a dc load when I got into building quadcopters, I would have got this one. It's nice and compact and conveniently has that connector that works on all my lipos smaller than 10Ah. Miniware also makes a great field soldering iron called the ts100 that connects to lipo packs using that same connector. The TS100 is the gold standard iron among RC enthusiasts.

[@ChriFux]

AFAIK the XT60 is only for sensing the voltage, and not discharging anything

[@KGBot]

It”s actually XT30

[@jamesz8631]

As @KGBot pointed out, it's a XT30. and @christophfuchs407 is correct, it's a remote voltage sense connection. This is used so it can compensate for the voltage drop across the wiring to the unit (if you're running longer wires) it appears that it's optional though as I haven't seen anyone use that connection yet in the few videos I have seen of it.

It’s on my list of “Wants”. Now gotta figure out how to sell the “ “Need” to my wife. 🤔

[@ivolol]

Miniware tend to have more hits than misses with their products. They have a great line of portable/compact soldering irons as well. Wonder what mosfets they specced out for it? It's not the easiest thing in the world finding linear mosfets around.

[@andymouse]

Yep, I use their TS100 Iron.

[@MaxPivovarov]

Need a noise test in an electric circuit during operation. As well as the reaction rate to changes in voltage when operating in the current (power) constant mode.

[@jspencerg]

Go for the whole suite. No one I've seen has done a review of the entire integrated system.

[@IMSAIGuy]

I'll be doing the dual channel scope in a few weeks

[@jagmarc]

what a cute little device. A kind of swiss army knife. If it's 'modulateable' make a great dynamic load for psu stability /phasemargin checking and all that. The RF looks interesting whatever that is. Be great if can wirelessly controlled/monitored. Could integrate these into ATE rigs. Though a USB wired for that prefiere

[@nickcaruso]

wonder if they're trying to evoke Mean Well with the mw logo...

[@theelmonk]

Miniware are already a known good brand due to their excellent soldering irons (TS100 etc)

[@saadmughal5478]

Wow thats a nice piece of equipment

[@SonOfSofaman]

It certainly is cute. But when that rechargeable battery EOLs you'll end up buying that device again and that one will end up in a landfill. Do you really need a portable device in a lab/workshop? If it were a tiny bit bigger, it would have room for a power jack and could run on a wall wart. It'd be useful for battery testing in the field, I suppose, if you do that sort of thing outside the lab.

[@farhadsaberi]

10 Amps ? Double check those banana jack wires they gave. Don't be surprised that the Chinese will give you 24 AWG wires with the device.

[@IMSAIGuy]

they look to be 16 or 18 gauge

[@christatler7378]

Seems very tempting to place the load on its side blocking one end heat sink and fans duct. Would have been better to have controls on top.

[@GeorgeGraves]

Looks like you block the airflow when you use it standing up like you do.

[@Clark-Mills]

6:21 Through-ventilation will be impeded with the unit in that orientation...

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953]

Plan to DIY my Load with strip line resistors and copper spreader combined copper pure water chamber. Plan to plumb it to a dc powered fan cooling a tiny air/h20 exchanger. A dc pump maybe be in order aswell as a bigger reservoir depending on wattage & time under load ☺️

[@rfburns5601]

Bluetooth comms with optional MDP-M01 Smart Digital monitor. See this video titled: Tutorial MDP-L1060 Electronic Load from Miniware by Alejandro Alonso. Would give a link but likely get tagged as spam comment.

[@BryanTorok]

I put links in my replies all the time and never have a problem.

[@HeyBirt]

Does it come with a magnifying glass to see the display?

[@AkawichPonIn]

Is it take power from test probe to charge internal battery?

[@BryanTorok]

Description on their site says it charges via USB-C.

[@iowahank1]

For the price I'll stick with the West Mountain Radio CBA.

[@BryanTorok]

In the same price range, the CBA only does 10W. To get higher wattage, it is more money and much larger. Then, from what I see of the CBA, you need to connect them to a computer and run software. While there is some overlap, that's a completely different device.

[@theelmonk]

Will the battery charge from the loaded source ?

[@simontay4851]

No.

[@andymouse]

Neat !

[@jimomertz]

I don’t like the user interface (consequence of being small). Lots of spinning with that wheel. I bet that thing breaks after a few months.

mostly black color for power supply equipment just let you know Sir source youtube
