Hello!
In the past months i have been twiddeling with a lot of power supplys and battery circuits and i allways run into a problem... i need a load.
So the time has come to retire my bucket of kanthal wire and power resistors, i need to do this properly.
Designing my own is out of the question at the moment, i can not get side tracked, though i can build and etch from ready made plans.
But... i can not spend a ton of money.
0-12V (maybe 24 would be good)
0-10A (20 would be nice)
mA resolution would be awesome
constant power would be nice but not a must
around 40 Euros would be good
Wich one of the many out there would you recommend?
My favorite so far, since i have a display and arduino around would be this one:

But it leaves still a decent amount of design work out.
