Hello,

My company purchased a number of these with the intention of using them in a project that requires computer control of the output settings after seeing the Tx/Rx pins and hoping it would be able to communicate in this way.

Since we’ve been unsuccessful in finding an affordable product that functions as well as this one that has external serial control, we wished to contact you to see what the cost would be to have such feature implemented, or if we could license a copy of the original code such that we could implement it ourselves.

We’ve been doing a lot of research in trying to find a boost converter exactly like this but with the serial comms support, and I feel like your product could be much more valuable with this relatively simple to implement feature added.

My suggestion was we help by paying you to rewrite your firmware to support serial control, and then you can sell the product with the extra features and it still costs us less (hopefully) than the cheapest possible solution we were able to find (>$1000 per device!) or trying to reverse-engineer yours.

We only want a reliable way to get serial control — it’s going to cost less to pay you to do it since you already have 99% of it, instead of trying to build one from the ground-up. There’s nothing like this with serial control on the market except VERY high-end industrial units that are not cost effective.

We don’t sell power supplies, there’s no incentive for us to design our own.

I want to add another voice to encourage you to consider adding this feature (serial access to adjust set points) as I think this would be a very valuable feature for many applications. Perhaps incorporate this feature into an advance version that sells for a higher price.
