SMBUS Touchscreen controller for 600W HP Server PSU with FreeRTOS

Designing the hardware This project repurposes the power supply units (PSU) found in datacentre servers. The PSU are very powerful (12V @ 600W), efficient and compact. They are useful for charging LIPO batteries (with some modification) and running brushless motors or any circuit that draws large amounts of current. These PSU are replaced in industry…
