Pico Power Supply...
I used a Pico ATX power supply here because it gives me a clean single 12V DC input to feed the whole drive block, which makes accurate shunt-based power measurements a lot easier. It’s also a simple way to power a small test setup without dragging in a full-size PSU and extra variables.
