[NickyDoes]

There's been a few small USB powered "benchtop" power supplies coming from companies, individuals, and everything in between. This one popped on my radar, and doesn't seem to be covered in many places yet.

It's also been explored a bit on Reddit.

Interestingly, it's relying on the USB Programmable Power Supply (PPS) spec to deliver voltage and current. Garbage in = garbage out in this case. The designer mentions a future list of recommended power supplies.
