[September 1, 2024] I am currently migrating my blog away from WordPress. I am trying to keep all url's and content the same. This is a work in progress. The old WordPress website is archived and available at https://archive.bartslinger.com. This is all in markdown now, which is awesome. Maybe I blog about that later.

LABPS3005D USB Power Supply

The LABPS3005D is a power supply with USB functionality. It comes with a small CD that provides software and drivers for Windows only. The software is buggy and I want to run it from Linux.

Serial Communication

The CD also provides a sheet with serial commands:

LABPS3005D Communication Protocol 1.3 [pdf]

Not all the commands in the sheet actually work. It turns out that it is not possible to use channel 5.
