Arduino power supply : Completed schematics + pics + code


Update : There is an updated version with better current limiting + better software here

Here is the ~ correct schematic


Some pictures (i know it's ugly)
The finished box (outside)

Internals



And the source code (sorry, can't attach it)



/**
* Simple power supply monitored by arduino
* - We have an INA219 monitoring voltage and current
* - Basic relay (with protection diode) disconnecting output when active
* - Nokia 5110 screen printing out voltage and amps
*
* Gettings the current limit is a bit tricky as it is done in anolog world through a resistor
