This board is on the bench. Leave your email and you'll be first in when it ships, and your interest helps decide what we build next.
What you'll build
Build your own inline USB-C power meter: measure voltage and current on the high side and log or display it with an ESP32. A genuinely useful bench instrument, and you'll learn the trick that keeps a power bank from auto-shutting-off under a tiny load.
It sits on the POWER track: power delivery, including batteries, charging, protection, and the clean rails everything else depends on.
The build pipeline
No steps skipped, no black boxes. Each stage is gated on real proof of work: a clean ERC, valid gerbers, a passing bring-up. You finish having actually done the engineering, not just watched it.

Questions
- When does this course open?
- It's in active production. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment it goes live, and the demand signal helps us decide what to build next.
- Is it beginner-friendly?
- Every stage is explained from first principles. If you can read a schematic, you can follow along.
- What will I need to build it?
- The course overview will preview for free; the full course is a one-time purchase (no subscription). Building the board for real also needs its bill of materials (listed in the course) and a small PCB order from a fab house. The course walks you through both.
- What will I actually learn?
- You'll learn power delivery, including batteries, charging, protection, and the clean rails everything else depends on, plus the full board workflow: schematic capture, layout, DRC, gerber export, ordering, assembly, and bring-up.
