What is it?

Vectatus is a portable, universal, programmable DC/DC converter that resolves most of the common power interfacing issues like not having the right battery, or a correct charger at hand.

The device provide a set of LEDs indicating device operating mode, input voltage, output voltage, warnings, errors etc.

User is able to switch different modes via onboard buttons. This way no multimeter is required to operate the device, as it usually is the case with traditional DC/DC converters.

Selected modes are stored in EEPROM, so they do not change in case of power failure.

Device provide connections for output and input via:

• pads for attaching wires or alligator clips
• USB type C port
• common lipo battery connector

Warning

This custom-built evaluation kit is intended for use by professionals and is solely designated for research and development purposes at appropriate facilities. Any usage of the device outside of these parameters may result in fire, damage to property, or other hazards. Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with all local laws and regulations governing the use of such technology. The author of this kit shall not be held liable for any misuse or unlawful activities conducted by the user. By using this kit, you acknowledge and accept these terms and conditions.

USB C output is directly connected to the output of the converter. Thus if the user selects voltage output which is outside of the USB spec, like 9V, then 9V will appear on the USB C output possibly destroying the device connected.

Offering

For this price I am offering an assembled, programmed, calibrated unit. As the project evolves I might release firmware updates via Github so users can update the firmware themselves or write their own firmware. Device has Arduino bootloader burned in so it can be programmed via regular serial cable.
