Ooh new miniware products to play with! I can't resist toys like these to add to my collection, i already have the oscilloscope ds213 and soldering iron ts80 and screwdriver es121. I got to admit their products are very appealing and compact... but need to consider is it really practical for my needs when I can just use a normal 'boring' bench power supply. The oscilloscope and soldering iron were very practical and superb to use, but the screwdriver really was a gimmick for me i could not justify spending that much money for. These are boys toys that we cannot live without ;) lol! Again great and concise review, I like your style of thorough explanation!
I have es120 and ts100. Im planning to buy this power supply and the ds213 oscilloscope. I dont really need any of these, but these are so well made that i just want to play with them :D.
Im not sure Im understanding this exactly but my graph only shows 30V and 5A no matter what I have the output set to so powering a low current device doesnt really graph anything because the range is so large. Does anyone know what Im doing wrong?
Yeah, in my case is the same. The graph has fixed Y axis (at least in my firmware version), so for me is not so useful for graphical current measurement. In fact I use the unit without the screen as it is not needed for the power functionality and thus I have a poquet size quite nice power supply.
@@brainkod I tested it today and it works well with any phone charger, even low current ones with no problem. I mean the unit switch could switch on. Obviosly if the charger gives you low current, the unit will give only low current to any load, but it works
@@alejandroalonsopuig Right, the reason why I asked for more specific specs is because my MacBook 13" 2018, 29W USB-C charger does not cut it. The unit does not even power up when I connect it whereas the barrel jack at 12V works fine (as in just powering up the MDP).
@@brainkod It is weird. I have the same Macbook pro. I have just now tested connecting the unit to one usb port, then pushed RUN/LOCK in the unit and it switch on perfectly. I am sorry to hear that the USB port doesn't work in your unit, because I think this is so convenient to have such small unit powered by usb for low current applications on the go. For example I can get a 24v source for PLCs or other devices just from a USB 5v port. I only use the barrell option for more current demanding applications.
@@alejandroalonsopuig Would it still be adjustable to 30V with a 5-volt source that is not QC3? i have only seen people use QC3 stuff. The spec on the website does not tell me whether or not I can get 30v out with 12 volts in.
@@Ender_Wiggin Yes, you can. In fact this is something I also questioned and tested. I got 30v from 5v input, but obviously the current you could get is much lower than the one your power source supply
It's a nice toy to have, but all I see is a little paperweight. For the €229,95 or $199 price tag, I think we can just buy a normal lab bench power supply.
Just picked this up. I was able to set it up and use the graph, so thankyou for this awesome and easy to follow video!

Gnome child agree!!

anyone see the power supply unit sold alone??? MDP-P905 cant find it anywhere
Yes, it is on aliexpress.com when you search for "MDP-P905". The cheapest one I saw for $125
Amcia Apple One also just showed up on Amazon USA
Where are you connecting that USB-C cable? My USB-C wall plug does not cooperate with my MDP-P905 and I have to use the barrel jack instead :/
In my case it works well. I used a Samsung usb-c unit from my mobile phone. Contact the distributor. They may tell you more. Good luck
@@alejandroalonsopuig Can you mention the model? I would like to look up the specs for yours and see if I can find a matching one.

Is there any way to power off the system? I mean, without removing the power cable.
You could stop the output, but the unit will still be on (although without any power output).
hold set and menu for a few seconds
what's the cost on this bad boy?
I paid 275.00ish shipped from Amazon for both the MDP-P905 Power Supply and MDP-M01 graph screen.
Is this boost or buck
Don't know really
@@alejandroalonsopuig does it depend on the QC3.0 standard to make the different voltages?
@@Ender_Wiggin voltage source could come from the usb connector or from any other power supply up to 30v via a different connector

OKEY!!!
