Miniware MDP-XP Digital Power Supply Set

RC0:
I manage to bought mine for ~190 USD (both; display and base unit) from China using some black-friday promo codes. After 3 month of usage I would say that the main unit is fine but the display unit is a bit useless.
It can connect with base station only as far as 0,5m but maybe it just problem with my unit. Thankfully after last update it is possible to control the output in ON/OFF manner from the display unit and I can turn off main unit without disconnecting power source - what an upgrade. 
I would much more like to see solution where I could control all from smartphone app just like VOLTBOT.  I hope they finally gonna release source code which they claimed it a long time ago but it still didn't happened. Also I heard that they preparing newer version which will support QC and PD.

I would also suggest to be careful with switching between power sources (DC jack and USB). I powered mine with 24V and after that I wanted to try USB, so I waited a bit and pressed "on" button to discharge potential input capacity. Nevertheless it damage one of my USB ports:(.

I'm also having this annoyance, I emailed them and they said they're limiting the range to 20cm. This wouldn't be a big deal, but in noisy environments around other devices, the wireless connection has difficulty for me. Its a shame because otherwise (ignoring the lack of PD) I love my unit.

I did some looking into it, and it seems that they're using NRF24L01+ 2.4Ghz modules for the wireless connection, which appears to be a common part in the maker world. The NRF unit itself seems to be capable of much, much longer ranges than 20cm, so I'm guessing that it's being software limited. I'm surprised nobody has created a software mod to extend the range of the units, but it seems like it would be very doable once the source code gets released.

Miniware said that new variant of MDP-XP supports PD 100W and is called MDP-P906. Coming soon!!

I found that device will work with usb c power cable if plug it through usb tester with pd switch on. Actually I tried with two power plugs and both supports latest pd technology, but only works with usb tester. Firmware upgrade to 1.25 doesn't help (and works only as described, first I put hex file and when it go ERR I put bin and it was uprades) :-\

With powerbank it works too

LampHead:
I think we just have to wait for a PD version if is in the making
