Where to buy

0. Connect the included 15V/4A adapter and plug the output cable in the terminal block.
Ensure the DC plug cable is properly connected to negative(black) and positive(red).
Caution! if you plug it the other way, your board will be seriously damaged.

1. Output Power ON/OFF
You can turn the output power on/off using the tact switch on SmartPower2

2. Power monitoring with 16×2 LCD
We recommend connecting the LCD after disconnecting the main power source.

Default SSID : smartpower2, Password : 12345678

Default webserver ip : 192.168.4.1

1. WiFi Connection	2. Access Web UI

• Seven Segments : voltage, ampere, watt, watt-hour.
• ON/OFF slide : Output power ON/OFF.
• Start/Stop slide : Watt-hour measurement Start/Stop.
• Voltage slider : Change output voltage.
• Save Default Voltage button : Set default voltage.

• Auto Run checkbox - Output power ON/OFF automatically when you power on the SmartPower2.

After connection with WiFi, you can get power data via telnet.
[Voltage],[Ampere],[Power],[Watt hour]

$ telnet 192.168.4.1
5.255,0.451,2.374,0.000
5.256,0.451,2.374,0.000

You can receive power data(current, voltage, power, watt-hour) from your SmartPower2 to your PC or ODROIDs through serial.
The serial output is available only when the output power is enabled.

Framework - Arduino, Jquery

Build Platform - Platformio, Arduino IDE

Simple instruction for Firmware upload.

host

$ sudo apt install python-pip git
$ sudo pip install esptool

host

$ git clone https://github.com/hardkernel/smartpower2.git
$ cd smartpower2

You should check your esp8266 serial number like “/dev/ttyUSB0” or “/dev/ttyUSB1”

host

$ sudo esptool.py --chip esp8266 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 921600 write_flash 0x00000 prebuilt/firmware.bin 0x100000 prebuilt/spiffs.bin

The instructions were tested on Windows 10.

And then, you need to extract the zip file on your work folder.

flash_download_tools_v3.6.6_0.zip

You have to input binaries and other parameters as shown below picture.
COM port is variable depending on your PC environment.

This guide is working with x86 platforms only. The development tools are not available for ARM platforms.

You can use Arduino IDE or PlatformIO for build platform.

Download the Arduino IDE via this link

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Run Arduino IDE and open “File → Preferences” on the menu bar

Add https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into “Additional Boards Manager URLs”

After adding the url, you are able to search “esp8266” in “Tools → Board → Boards Manager”.
Install the esp8266 Android version 2.4.2!

Select “Tools → board” to “NodeMCU 1.0(ESP-12E Module)”

Download the latest source code.

v1.6-arduino.zip

Unpack and open the “smartpower2.ino” in Arduino

Configure your Sketchbook location to your project root folder.(In my case $HOME/Downloads/smartpower2-1.4)

Restart Arduino IDE. Then, you can see “ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload” on the tools menu bar.

Run upload!

Run “ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload” on the tools menu bar.

1. Install PlatformIO

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install -U platformio
platformio --version

If you have any issue while installing it, refer this guide.
http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/installation.html

2. Get source code

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/hardkernel/smartpower2.git -b v1.6-platformio

3. Build & Upload Connect microUSB to Host PC.
You can see the list of USB drivers “CP210x UART Bridge” by lsusb in the terminal.

cd smartpower2
sudo platformio run
sudo platformio run --target upload
sudo platformio run --target uploadfs

1. Install platformIO

http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/installation.html

2. Get source code

v1.6-platformio.zip

platformio lib install 549 419 576

3. Build & Upload

Run CMD and move to the smartpower2 folder and Connect microUSB to Host PC.
You can see the list of USB drivers “CP210x USB to UART Bridge(COMx)” on the Device Manager.

cd /path/to/dir/smartpower2
platformio run
platformio run --target upload
platformio run --target uploadfs

If you have any errors such as the following.
