Firmware V2.0 Released!
We just released V2.0.0 of the PocketPD firmware, a complete rewrite from the ground up. PocketPD turns any PPS-capable USB-C charger into a pocket-sized bench power supply, with a rotary encoder and two interface buttons for precise V/I control and monitoring. The V2 update keeps all that functionality while adding a slew of improvements and bug fixes that address long-standing user pain-points. Read the full update.

Thermal Performance Evaluation
PocketPD HW1.3 introduces significant changes in thermal design. In the previous version, the magnets did not attach to the PCB and served only as a mounting mechanism. HW1.3 connects the magnets directly to the back of the PCB using thermal adhesive tape, allowing heat transfer when mounted to a ferromagnetic surface. Read the full update.
New Firmware Released
