The DPS5005, and related DPS3005, DPS5015, DP50V5A, are variable 'bench' power supply modules. It contains a STM32F100 microprocessor and a 1.44" TFT color LCD display.
The DPS5005, and related DPS3005, DPS5015, DP50V5A, are smart buck regulators and can be used as a budget 'bench' power supply modules. These units are powered by a STM32F100 microprocessor and includes a 1.44" TFT color LCD display.
The more recent versions of DP50V5A and the DPS5005 are virtually identical except for the difference in firmware. The DP50V5A has an inferior firmware which makes the interface laggy along with a slight difference in how the M1/M2 buttons are mapped. Despite these differences, OpenDPS can be installed and the button mappings can be made to work in the same manner.

==OpenDPS==
== Custom firmware ==
The firmware can be overwritten with an open source project called OpenDPS.
You can load a customized open source firmware called [[OpenDPS]]. All you need is a STLink and some fine wire to connect to the JTAG on the back of the unit and a computer that can run OpenOCD.

==STM32 flash information==
*https://github.com/kanflo/opendps
Additional features that OpenDPS features include not available from the stock firmware:
*Serial/Wi-Fi control
*A function generator
*A countdown timer
*A watt-hour meter (useful for checking how much power a battery took to charge)
The changes I've made and features I've added are a pull request on the official OpenDPS project on GitHub. For the '''DPS Mode''' like UI that is documented below and visible in the pictures here, use the d4 branch on my OpenDPS repo linked above.
===Installation===
[[File:STLink DPS Pinout.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
You will need the following to get OpenDPS running on your power supply:
*A STLink or STLink clone
*A computer with OpenOCD, ARM cross compiler (gcc-arm-none-eabi)
To begin, connect your STLink to the DPS power supply as per the pinout in the picture. Connect the STLink to your computer and then apply power to the DPS power supply. OpenOCD should be able to detect the device.

In case your device is unique and has no support, use the bundled {{code|ocd-client.py}} script to generate a log file with all registers, hardware peripherals including ADC and DACs, timers, GPIOs, etc. If you are working on a supported device (ie. the {{code|dps-models.h}} file has mention of your model), you should be safe to skip this step. Create a few dumps of the device in different states (Off / On and set to different voltages) in order to make it easier to identify which GPIO pins and ADC/DACs are in use and for what purpose. The stock firmware will freeze when OpenOCD is used. The only work-around is to configure the device with the STLink disconnected and the re-connect the STLink when you are ready to create a dump.
Dumps are created with {{code|ocd-client.py}} script like this:
{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=
$ python ocd-client.py all > dump.txt
}}
To compile and flash OpenOCD on your device, clone the OpenOCD repository.
{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=
$ git clone https://github.com/kanflo/opendps
}}
On the project root directory, start OpenOCD and compile the project.
It is normal for the device to have a blank screen after the OpenDPS flash. It should boot up after flashing the {{code|dpsboot}} bootloader. This is a bug with the build system and you will always have to flash both OpenDPS and the DPSBoot bootloader for the device to function.
If you have issues compiling and get an error {{code|/home/pi/opendps/libopencm3/include/libopencm3/dispatch/nvic.h:8:11: fatal error: libopencm3/stm32/f1/nvic.h: No such file or directory
}}, try running {{code|make}} on the root directory once (it will error on something else, but it shouldn't matter) and then try again.
If buttons aren't working, then your hardware might be using different GPIO pins. Refer to the dump made above to determine any necessary changes needed to the code.
If voltages and currents are off, you need to calibrate the device by adjusting the {{code|dps-models.h}} file.
===Usage===
OpenDPS makes use of multiple screens, each with a different set of functions. The key combinations used to switch screens are {{code|SET + Rotary}}.
Power is controlled using the {{code|ON / OFF}} switch.
To protect from accidental changes while powered on, the interface can be locked or unlocked by pressing and holding {{code|Rotary}}. When locked, no interface or settings can be changed.
====DPS Mode Screen====
The DPS Mode screen shows the voltage, current, and power output being supplied by the power supply and was designed to look and feel as close to the original DPS firmware as possible while retaining a cleaner user interface. Until this feature is merged in the official repo, you can get it by merging the pull request or use the [https://git.steamr.com/others/opendps/-/tree/d4 d4 branch on my repo]. This feature is enabled by default using the <code>DPSMODE_ENABLE</code> flag. When building from this branch, the options I used were: <code>make -C opendps flash -j 9 MODEL=DPS5005 INVERT_ENABLE=0 CC_ENABLE=0 CL_ENABLE=0 CV_ENABLE=0 POWER_COLORED=1 POWER_OFF_VISIBLE=1 THERMAL_LOCKOUT=0 SETTINGS_ENABLE=1</code>
[[File:DSP5005 Interface.png|frame|center|DSP5005 Interface]] Buttons work as you would expect: {{code|V}} will allow editing of the maximum voltage. {{code|A}} will allow editing of the maximum current.
The user interface can be locked by holding the {{code|Rotary}} down until a padlock symbol appears near the bottom of the screen. Conversely, the interface can be unlocked by holding the {{code|Rotary}} down until the padlock symbol disappears.
-----
[[File:DSP5005 Third Item Interface.png|center|frame|DSP5005 Third Item Interface]] The third value on the screen can be changed using the {{code|Rotary Press}} + {{code|Rotary Turn}} combination. Values that are displayed in the third row can be edited using {{code|Rotary Press}}, or by navigating through the interface using {{code|SET}} + {{code|M1}} or {{code|SET}} + {{code|M2}}. The DPS Mode screen currently supports editing of:
*Power Output / Power Limit
*Timer (time until power off, or time since power on)
*Brightness
*Watt-Hour Meter (measured in milliwatt-hours).
------
[[File:DSP5005 Power Interface.png|center|frame]] When the DPS unit is turned on, you will see either {{code|CC}} or {{code|CV}} signifying whether the device is in constant current or constant voltage mode. Depending on the power output limit that is set, a power output warning may be seen when power output exceeds 80% of the power limit. Exceeding the power limit will automatically turn the output off.
------
[[File:DSP5005 Preset and Timer.png|center|frame]] The DPS screen supports up to two recall preset settings. Each preset setting saves the voltage, current limit, power limit, and timer value. Recall a preset by holding {{code|M1}} or {{code|M2}}. Save a preset by holding {{code|SET}} + {{code|M1}} or {{code|SET}} + {{code|M2}}.
If a timer is set prior to power on, a hourglass icon will flash signifying that a timer is set. When the timer elapses, power will automatically be shut off. If the timer is not set prior to power on, the timer will act as a clock and will show the duration since power on.
===Calibration===
Voltage and current are controlled using a pair of DAC and ADCs. The two DACs control the output current and voltage while the two ADCs measure the current and voltage. Typically, you will need to calibrate these DACs and DACs in order to have accurate values.
Calibration involves finding the slope (K) and offset constant (C) of the DAC/ADC curve. The curve is linear and can be found by finding two points. For DACs, we want to map the input value to the DAC (0 ~ 4096) to the actual output value (voltage or current limits). For ADCs, we want to map the ADC output (0 ~ 4096) to its actual value (voltage or current).
Default values are defined in {{code|dps-model.h}} and any changes will need to be made to this file directly.
In either case, use the spreadsheet to calculate the DAC and ADC values.
====DAC====
The DAC is the simplest to calibrate. Hit M1 and M2 buttons simultaneously to enter the calibration menu. From this menu, you can set the input DAC values for both voltage and current DACs. Alternatively, you can set the voltage DAC value by writing to register DHR12R1 at address 0x40007408 and the current DAC by writing to register DHR12R2 at address 0x40007414.
We will map this voltage value to the actual voltage that is measured with a reference multimeter.
For voltage:
#Hit M1+M2 to enter calibration menu
#Assign {{code|Vout DAC}} a value of 50 (this is D1)
#Measure the voltage with a reference multimeter (V1)
#Assign {{code|Vout DAC}} a value of 500 (this is D2)
#Measure the voltage again. (V2).
#Calculate the K value: (D1 - D2) / (V1 - V2)
#Calculate the C value: D1 - (K * V1)
#Update values for K and C as V_DAC_K and V_DAC_C.
The same principle applies for the current DAC but with slightly different values.
#Hit M1+M2 to enter calibration menu
#Assign {{code|Iout DAC}} a value of 500 (this is D1)
#Connect a current sink (ideally 2+ amps). Measure the current as C1
#Assign {{code|Iout DAC}} a value of 1200 (this is D2)
#Measure the current as C2
#Calculate the K value: (D1 - D2) / (C1 - C2)
#Calculate the C value: D1 - (K * C1)
#Update values for K and C as A_DAC_K and A_DAC_C.
====ADC====
The ADC K/C values can be calibrated by calculating the original raw value based on the measured and actual voltage/current and then adjusting the existing K/C values to account for any drift. Use the spreadsheet to help with this calculation.
#Plug in the existing K and C values to the spreadsheet
#First column takes a lower value.
##Turn the power on so that the DPS is supplying power
##Enter the a voltage reading as displayed
##Enter the actual voltage by measuring the DPS voltage output
#Repeat for the higher-end value
#Enter the new K and C values
These steps apply to current as well.
===Development===
[[File:DPSmode-Display.jpg|thumb|right|DPS Mode on OpenDPS running on a DP50V5A]]
OpenDPS is opensource and is very easy to add new features. The project is relatively active and new features are being added all the time.
====Fonts====
The Makefile is capable of rendering different fonts to be used in the firmware. Copy your ttf or otf font to the {{code|gfx}} directory and edit the {{code|Makefile}}. Alternatively, override the Makefile values and then run:
{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=
# make -C opendps fonts
# make -C opendps fonts METER_FONT_FILE=`pwd`/nf.ttf METER_FONT_SMALL_SIZE=16 METER_FONT_MEDIUM_SIZE=22 METER_FONT_LARGE_SIZE=30

DPS50V5A and a DPS3005
The DPS5005, and related DPS3005, DPS5015, DP50V5A, are smart buck regulators and can be used as a budget 'bench' power supply modules. These units are powered by a STM32F100 microprocessor and includes a 1.44" TFT color LCD display.
The more recent versions of DP50V5A and the DPS5005 are virtually identical except for the difference in firmware. The DP50V5A has an inferior firmware which makes the interface laggy along with a slight difference in how the M1/M2 buttons are mapped. Despite these differences, OpenDPS can be installed and the button mappings can be made to work in the same manner.

Readout Protection is set to On, which can be changed by changing the Read Protection (RDP) level. There are 3 levels:
0: No read protection.
1: Read protection enabled.
2: Debug/chip read protection disabled. Will disable JTAG, which is bad for our case.
By changing the RDP value from 1 to 0, you will erase the flash.
