For all the electrical engineers out there: Do you know if they make digitally-programmable DC-DC converter modules with a wide output range? I'm looking for something that can do up to at least 12V, preferably up to 18 or 20, and that can ideally go all the way down to 0V output but I expect it'll probably have a minimum around 0.7V or something

The problem is that digital potentiometers aren't usually rated for more than 5-ish volts on their terminals.

(also it's fine if it's just a buck converter, but buck/boost or SEPIC or Ćuk or some other thing that can do both above and below input voltage would be preferred)

@Lioness oh, that looks like it would work perfectly if not for the package it comes in! Tell your dad I said thanks, but I forgot to mention that we need to be able to hand-solder it so BGA is out of the question >.<
