## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SS114993507:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SS114993507:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

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.
