The XIAO PowerBread is a cool breadboard power supply designed to meet the needs of makers by providing reliable, real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and power consumption. It offers two power outputs (3.3V and 5V) and integrates an INA3221 multi-channel current sensor, allowing users to monitor their breadboard circuits’ performance in real-time through a built-in LCD display. This makes it easier to know what’s going on when prototyping on a breadboard.
Features
- Real-Time Monitoring: View essential power metrics at a glance—no multimeter needed. The built-in display shows real-time voltage, current, and power data.
- High-Current Output: Deliver up to 1.5A of stable 3.3V power, ideal for most breadboard-based electronics projects.
- Built-in LCD Display: Stay informed with real-time power monitoring, displayed with line charts and statistics clearly on the integrated LCD.
- Plug-and-Play Design: Compatible with standard breadboards, simply plug in, power up, and start prototyping without extra setup.
- Open-Source and XIAO Dev Boards Compatibility: Compatible with almost all Seeed Studio XIAO dev boards (XIAO RP2040, RP2350, ESP32C3, ESP32S3, ESP32S3 Sense, ESP32C6), this open-source design provides flexibility for future extensions like USB-serial communication and PWM control.
- Dual-Channel Voltage and Current Sensing: Equipped with the INA3221 sensor for dual-channel voltage and current monitoring—know what’s happening with every aspect of your power supply.
- Compact Powerhouse: This compact design delivers both 3.3V and 5V outputs, optimizing your breadboard space without compromising on power.
A Community Design Scaled up by Fusion Co-Create
This cool creation is designed by Nicho D, a maker based in China. We're excited to work with him to bring this impactful design to the market via our Fusion Co-Create. It's a program where we applied the Fusion Prototype, Produce, and Promote services to scale up cool community projects, while the designers gets comission for each single piece sold.
