RuiDeng Riden RD6006 DC power supply

[pauledd]

Check out TestController: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/program-that-can-log-from-many-multimeters/ it supports the RD6006 & RD6012

Thanks, I'll look into that, but I prefer to go a bit more "raw" with this one:
RD6006 Python module

@ Unisoft and all.

Played with new firmware 1.31.6f (latest release)

Looked at the new ORP function.
Looks nice, have not een specific function for that at this moment,
but interesting. Tested with electronic load DL24 wich has an function
voor Constant Resistance.

When I set ORP to 9 ohm and delay at 10 seconds (Vset = 15 volt)
Set load resistance to 9,1 ohm, start the load, works perfect.
Set load resistance to 8,9, RD6012 shuts down after 10 seconds, works perfect.
When I set load at 9,1 ohm, works OK, but when I turn down resistance to 8,9 ohm,
with load switched on, Riden shuts down immidiate, without delay.

Not a problem, I want just to let you know.

Edit:
One small problem I have seen. Power State doesn't work anymore. Always off when turned on.

Edit 2:
Turning off mains with RD6012 switched on, then switching on mains, unit stays off.
Turning off mains with RD6012 switched off, then switching on mains, unit powers up.
Looks like an inverse "last state" option, power state always set to Power on.

@unisoft, is it possible to add pulse output feature to the supply?  Shall be useful to experiment on charging battery.   Example like having a pulse width of on duty incremental of 500mS, and independent off duty of 500mS incremental, with control of current limit, and set voltage.  Whole charging duration can be taken care by the timer-off feature that you have already done.

I don’t think so. A relay is used there to disconnect the battery.

Any updates on the new RD6006P?

Hi Unisoft

It´s only an idea - I know you are open for new ideas 
A menu, where you can choose the multiplikator factor. Like 1x(standard), 2x and 5x.
When you increase the voltage with the encoder with a faktor 1x in the 2nd digit (1.10V -> 1.20V -> 1.30V....), the raising is very slow, have turn the encoder many times to set the voltage for exampe from 2V to 12V.
With a factor 2x the rotation will be halved. (1.20V -> 1.40V -> 1.60V and so on....) and with a factor 5x the rotation will be reduced by 1/5 (1.00V -> 1.50V -> 2.00V....).
Maybe this function can be set, after entering "V-Set" with the up/down button (an indication on the display is required).

But there is also a disadvantage:
Changing the 3rd digit with a factor 2x or 5x (1.00V -> 6.00V -> 11.00V....) it becomes very dangerous - you will kill the goat instantly (oh sorry it´s a horse).

I believe, it's not only dangerous, but also not practical...

new BETA (j)
https://monitor.net.ru/forum/threads/651114/post-6101657

bug fixes
new quick settings menu (SHIFT + DOWN)
Rewritten code for the graph drawing, by default used automatic scale...
click on encoder selects what parameter to scale in manual mode, same time buttons UP/DOWN change Y offset...
SHIFT + click on ENCODER resets Y offsets and switches to automatic scaling...

Maybe need to adjust (extends) the tables with coefficients for scaling?

Code: [Select]

static const uint32_t g_VScaleTable[16] = { // mV
  50, 100, 250, 500, 1250, 2500, 3750, 5000, 7500, 10000, 12500, 25000, 37500, 50000, 62500, 75000
};

static const uint32_t g_IScaleTable[16] = { // mA
  50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 5000, 7500, 10000, 15000, 20000
};

static const uint32_t g_WScaleTable[16] = { // mW
  50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 1250, 2500, 5000, 10000, 12500, 25000, 50000, 125000, 250000, 500000, 1250000
};

Hi Tatanka1961

Yep, you´re right. 

[Pukker]

Can anyone tell me the specs of the external temp. sensor.
Which value NTC en wich curve.
I can measure the R value of course.
Is it: Ntc 5K 10K 15K 20K 50K 100K 1M
and is it curve 3950 or 3435 or 3470?

Thank you in advance.

Why I want to know?
I like to make an connector in the front of my case so I can plug in
the sensor when needed, internal connector is not so handy.
I like to use an sensor as show on the picture.

#define THERMISTORNOMINAL     10000   // resistance at 25 degrees C
#define TEMPERATURENOMINAL    25      // temp. for nominal resistance (almost always 25 C)
#define BCOEFFICIENT          3950    // The beta coefficient of the thermistor (usually 3000-4000)

Any way to swap an app connection to a PC connection?  My PC does not have wifi, but is ethernet connected to the same network as the RD6006 and is on the same IP subnet.  I have set up the wifi connection to the app, but now I'd like to swap it to the PC.  How would one make this connection change, is it possible at all?

@Unisoft.

Just an idea.
Is it possible to set the same colors in the graph
for U, I and P as the colors which are choosen for
the numeric values.

Merry Christmas to ALL.

I did that in one of the beta version (h)
But other users asked me to returns colors back to default.
because of this:

OK, I thought it would be more consistent.

@ Unisoft.

I will not complain, but in the latest version
for RD6012, the AutoPowerOff,
after setting the time for it, does not shut down anymore.

Not an problem, just to mention.

[UniSoft]

What version exactly?

Note:
AutoPowerOff - working only in inactive mode (when output is OFF!)
Press any button, rotate encoder, external communication (PC, App) restarts the timer...

Unisoft thanks for explanation, my faillure,
I thought AutoPowerOff works when there
is no load. When output is off, than it works.
Sorry.

Dear, Unisoft or Pukker
I have an RD6012 power supply.
I would like to download the latest Firmware for RD6012.
Please help me where to find it, where to download it.

Thank you my friend..!

See post Unisoft 30 december 2020.
This is a very nice version in my opinion.
I think I should not / may not post it here, because it is not my software,
I am only thankfull user.

Credits to Unisoft of course.

If there no flasher see page 12 this topic and download the previous version there,
flasher is included.

Looks like There cannot be downloaded anymore for non registered users... 
So next time will upload direct here.
Soon will be new Beta

new BETA (k)

• bug fixes
• Now can be selected color for curves in graph
• New option "ISET > OCP+200" allows to set I-SET higher than OCP+0.2A, to activate option enter pass: 11235
• New option "SaveGraphSett." allows to save graph settings (scale, Y offset)
• Returned functionality to the key ENTER (in graph), now it is perform Stop/Play, to switch into view mod: MEM + ENTER (to exit from view mode use ENTER)
• The temperature displayed in graph and in icon now can be from -30
• In status bar added few options to display RAW ADC values (oversampled and averaged)
  To convert it to the voltage/current:
  Vout = ADC(V) * backVoltageScale / 100000 - backVoltageZero
  Iout = ADC(I) * backCurrentScale / 100000 - backCurrentZero
• Remade timer from session menu
  Option "Timer mode" setup timer mode (OFF/Single/Cyclic)
  "Timer Off" - Turn OFF output (0 - off)
  "Timer On" - Turn ON output (0 - off), countdown will start after timer "Timer Off".
  Option "Timer Reset" - resets the timer, after exit from menu (i.e. if this option set, countdown will start after exit from menu, else from the  turn on output).
• ...

Thanks a lot. Love the job done.
The new functionality is immense, when compared to the original documentation. That brings one problem with it: an update of the manual might be useful. The update notes in the forums are getting hard to find.
Would be willing to help with that, but frankly, I/we would need some help from unisoft with that, as some of the update notes are somewhat summary.

I also have one UX request: in the Memory Hint "popup", it is easy to mistake the OVP/OCP for the V-Set and I-Set. Reasons: they are roughly at the same location as the V-Set/I-Set on the screen "behind it", so the eye is already looking there, the text is higher placed, and they are of the same font and brightness as the V-Set and I-Set. So the UI language is somewhat confusing and even says that OVP/OCP is more important. Which is not the case (normally).
Might it be possible to make the OVP/OCP/OPP settings in the Memory Hint popup somewhat more differentiated, less prominent? Like a lighter grey for the letters, or a light grey background?
There are other options, that might make it even more UX friendly (I mean: not inverting the colors from the main screen), but simply making the text left/right differentiated might be simpler and would already help.

Thanks for the new version, looks great, especially the changes for the graph mode.
Also the timer modes looking great. Have to experiment with them.

Thank you for the Beta!

Feature Request:
WiFi Settings
Manual editing all WiFi related settings would be very nice.
