Cambridge, UK-based elektroThing is seeking to make it simpler to work with USB Energy Supply (PD) initiatives with the Spark Analyzer, a compact device constructed round an Espressif ESP32-C3 and designed for energy monitoring and manipulation.
“Spark Analyzer [is] an revolutionary ESP32-powered USB Sort-C Energy Supply (UCPD) suitable system designed to streamline the event and debugging course of for initiatives and prototypes,” explains elektroThing’s YJ of the system. “With its compact and modern design, wi-fi management, adjustable voltage output, and extra, Spark Analyzer is your go-to resolution 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 information, 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 information, and analyze energy consumption via a user-friendly and intuitive smartphone interface,” YJ claims, although with the proviso that stated app remains to be in energetic improvement.

“This versatile system options each Wi-Fi and BLE [Bluetooth Low Energy] connectivity,” YJ continues, “enabling wi-fi management and information 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 recordsdata and supply code have already been printed to GitHub beneath the permissive MIT license.
