Cambridge, UK-based elektroThing is trying to make it simpler to work with USB Energy Supply (PD) tasks with the Spark Analyzer, a compact device constructed round an Espressif ESP32-C3 and designed for energy monitoring and manipulation.
“Spark Analyzer [is] an modern ESP32-powered USB Sort-C Energy Supply (UCPD) appropriate machine designed to streamline the event and debugging course of for tasks and prototypes,” explains elektroThing’s YJ of the machine. “With its compact and smooth design, wi-fi management, adjustable voltage output, and extra, Spark Analyzer is your go-to answer for energy supply and evaluation.”

The compact Spark Analyzer, with its eye-catching prolonged PCB antenna, is constructed round an Espressif ESP32-C3 system-on-chip related to a Fairchild FUSB302MPX USB Energy Supply management chip and a Cross Chip CC6904SO-10A present sensor and Diodes Integrated DMP3017SFG-7 field-effect transistor (FET). A USB Sort-C connector accepts incoming energy and knowledge, whereas the negotiated voltage — 5V, 9V, 15V, or 20V — comes out to a screw terminal.
“With Spark Analyzer, builders can effortlessly monitor and manipulate voltage ranges, log knowledge, and analyze energy consumption by means of a user-friendly and intuitive smartphone interface,” YJ claims, although with the proviso that mentioned app remains to be in energetic growth.

“This versatile machine options each Wi-Fi and BLE [Bluetooth Low Energy] connectivity,” YJ continues, “enabling wi-fi management and knowledge logging, eliminating the necessity for cumbersome bodily buttons, and facilitating distant operation from a distance.”
The Spark Analyzer is because of start crowdfunding on Crowd Provide within the close to future; its design information and supply code have already been revealed to GitHub underneath the permissive MIT license.
