My first step towards designing an Electrical Power System for my #CubeSat (or #EPS for short, aka. BMS or Battery Management System) is to make a simple #blockdiagram and then select some parts that are easy to work with. The great ‪@RGSAT‬ is my inspiration for this, but I take a slightly different approach.
All of this is in preparation for breadboarding and schematic capture, which I will cover in the next episode.
Everything I do here is Open Source, check the repo links below!
