Hi Dave!
This is my first post on the forum, but I've been a long time viewer of your YouTube channel! Many of your videos have been a great help to me and my team members during the design of our avionics system.
Speaking of avionics - I'm the upcoming lead (for 2021 - 2022 school year) of the Avionics team of the Buckeye Space Launch Initiative (
https://bsli.space/)! We are a student led group from the Ohio State University, of mostly undergraduates working on multiple rocket related projects. This past year we launched a 30k ft. altitude sounding rocket with a completely custom designed avionics bay. Here's a video talking about our design for the 2020-2021 rocket:

The only test equipment we currently have is an Analog Discovery 2, a Harbor Freight multimeter

and an unregulated DC power supply (no CC mode

). As you can imagine this makes it really hard to bring up boards for the first time in a safe way - current limiting resistors can only do so much.
We've been able to accomplish so much with the small amount of equipment we have, and having a proper bench power supply like this would allow us to achieve so much more! I am planning to use a chunk of this years avionics budget to buy a proper multimeter (a BM235 perhaps

) and an actual bench power supply would be an amazing addition to our test setup. The lower voltage - higher current model would be best suited for our applications!
We have tons of ideas for this years avionics and telemetry system - I'll be sure to start posting some updates here on the forum!
Kind regards, and good luck to everyone
