    This blue board includes:

    4 channel highside analog LD driver with bias standby (SBS). Upto 3A/ch
    2 channel buck dc-dc converter
    1 channel H-bridge (bidirectional) TEC controller. Upto 6/10A @12V

    as well as:
    start delay, soft start, diodes, baseplate and pcb overheat control and many other features

    The project is under improvement at the moment...

    I use NTC as temperature sensors, they are not too accurate for this.. Also, to accurately shows current, need to add a few sensors. For the rest, eg overheating, there are 3 LED's on the board
