I enjoyed Dave's video about how to equip a "not half-ass" electronics lab. He showed many DC power supplies that he assembled and suggested others do the same. I'm searching for ready-to-assemble DC power supply kits (0-15V, 0-1A, current limit, dual tracking, etc) but am having a hard time finding them. I thought I would find a kitted product that required the user to solder everything together, and place the results in a provided enclosure. What I have found thus far are either (1) off-the-shelf completely assembled units, (2) small PCB kits made for attaching to a protoboard, or (3) project "ideas" on forums.
I've looked at Sparkfun, Adafruit, Jameco, Nuts and Volts, and probably others I'm forgetting. I also looked at the "Silicon Chip" website Dave mentions, but I didn't see any such kits there.
Do these "ready-to-assemble" kits exist, and if so, where can I find them?
What did you do for your first DC bench top power supply? Buy off-the-shelf? Assemble a kit? Design and build from scratch?
