KA3005P

Command line tool to control power supplies created by Korad, Tenma, RS, Velleman, Stamos, (and other clones) via their serial interface.

Usage

Example (Getting Help): ```bash

ka3005p -h ka3005p 0.2.2 Controls a KA3005P bench power supply through its serial interface

USAGE: ka3005p [OPTIONS]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -d, --device Manually select power supply serial device

SUBCOMMANDS: beep Enable/Disable Beep current Set the current of the ouput or config help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) interactive Read commands from stdin and execute them list list possible power supply devices load Loads config settings of specified no ocp Enable/Disable over current protection ovp Enable/Disable over voltage protection power Turns on or off the ouput of the power supply save Saves current pannel settings to specified config status Return status inforation about the power spply voltage Set the voltage of the ouput or config ```

```bash

Get the current status of the power supply. Note the power supply is automatically detected

ka3005p status Voltage: 12.00, Current: 0.304, Channel1: CV, Channel2: CV, Lock: Off, Beep: On, Output: On

ka3005p power off ka3005p status Voltage: 12.00, Current: 0.305, Channel1: CV, Channel2: CV, Lock: Off, Beep: On, Output: Off

ka3005p voltage 12.1 ka3005p status Voltage: 12.10, Current: 0.303, Channel1: CV, Channel2: CV, Lock: Off, Beep: On, Output: Off

If you need to manually specify the power supply e.g. If you have multiple plugged in

ka3005p -d /dev/ttyUSB0 status Voltage: 12.10, Current: 0.302, Channel1: CV, Channel2: CV, Lock: Off, Beep: On, Output: Off ```

Installation

  1. Grab the latest binaries from the Releases
  2. Run the binary!
  3. Optionally copy to your bin folder for system wide access bash mv ka3005p-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl /usr/bin/ka3005p

    Building

Building of the musl versions should be as simple as bash git clone git@github.com:Nicoretti/ka3005p.git cd ka3005p cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

If you wish to build the gnu versions you will need to download the libudev dependency. bash sudo apt install libudev-dev

Known working power supplies

If this tool works for you please add your device to this list: * Korad KA3005P * Tenma 72-2540 * RS PRO RS6005p

Interactive Mode

Using the interactive mode you can send continues stream of commands to the power supply. This can be used e.g. to apply an automated voltage ramp.

```bash

python3 ramp.py -f 10 -t 20 -p 10 | ka3005p interactive ```

For more details check out the ramp.py script.
