DIY Variable DC Power Supply with Display and PC interface

A variable bench power supply is an important equipment in electronics lab for conducting experiments, prototytyping, and testing. This cool-looking DIY bench power supply provides fixed 5V and 12V outputs along with a separate variable DC output ranging from 1.2 to 25V. The on-board LCD display shows instantaneous output voltage, current, and power drawn, which are very important parameters during prototyping of a new project. The power supply can also be connected to a PC through RS232 port to visualize and monitor these parameters graphically on screen. The project uses Atmega8 microcontroller for measuring and displaying the electrical output parameters.
