VikramSatv0.EPS Redevelopement!
So you might have taken a look at the VikramSatv0_Electrical-Power-Subsystem repository during the GROUNDED, I also got the grant for this project, but I noticed some major flaws in this!!! I believe that the best way to learn something is to make mistakes in it, so I'll be fixing those mistakes here and kinda make big changes in the whole board, so get ready for the upcoming adventure! It's me, Rishaan Sharma, a 14 year old Indian boy making a satellite with 4 of my teammates. The Satellite is named as 'VikramSat'. It's a 2U CubeSat and yeah it's quite a cool project! I have been assigned the duty to make a fully functional Electrical Power Sub-System (EPS) for the CubeSat. So, I'm writing this journal which notifies about the progress regularly. I hope you all will find this quite interesting!!!

Day 6!
So today I talked to Kimi and found that the solar input needed a boost, so here it is! Well I also tried finding a charger, but it is kinda very difficult to find! And yeah, also to make!!!

Day 5! Did the 5V BOOST CONVERTER!!!
Uhmmm, so today I found and made the schematic for the 5V Boost Converter. I made sure that it was a bit easy to do. I also tried to find a charger, which I found indeed, but it is a bit complicated to do, but yeah, ig I should do it!
This is the charger which I chose (Kinda)!

Day 4! Did the 1V8 BUCK CONVERTER!!!
Yooo Guyz, I kinda did the 1.8V buck converter today! I also tried to search for a battery charger, but couldn't find one, but I did something massive, and that is that I changed the battery configuration! Yeah, my friend/Team lead told me to change it to 2S4P from 1S8P! So yeah, ig enough for today!

Day 3! Did MORE SCHEMATIC!!!
Hiii! So today I started by making the connections for the Battery charger, I kinda did all the connections, but then saw that it can give 3A max.!!! Then I kinda regretted to do this, but then I moved on for the Battery Protection Unit and the 3.3V Buck converter. ig now only the Boost for 5.5V and the charger is remaining!

Day 2! Started SCHEMATIC
yooo! Started the Schematic! You might be thinking where was I since my first Journal? Well, I got busy in doin' another project (The SUREVIVAL), which got over, so yeah here is the first look of the schematic. I copied a few things from my previous schematic, and beautified them and here's the output:

Day 1! Did some PLANNING STUFF!!!
Yeah!!! It's day 1 and you gotta keep your josh high! So today I made the complete overview of the project! and decided some major components. I also thought that 2S4P would be much better than 1S8P, so I kinda changed it too! I wanted to make a new repository for this project, but wasn't able to do that as I am on my phone! Yeah, I'm out of station and was not permitted to take my laptop with me by my parents, so yeah, I used one old repo of no use now for this project, well, you gotta see the OVERVIEW now!
