Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/yeusgM75ys 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! *Dev kit shop will be up in late 2025 / early 26* – get pinged: https://forms.gle/5a2UZdfcyUmFjTZd8 ## 🛰️ Support This Project If you are looking for a way to support this channel, leave a tip or become a member :) - Channel Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLf9aKlW-TbC8zbrl0OvKLQ/join - Patreon: https://patreon.com/buildacubesat - Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/buildacubesat - PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/bac-paypal-donation *Timestamps* 00:00 Intro 01:37 Block Diagram: Solar Cells and Batteries 02:33 Block Diagram: #PMIC 03:30 Block Diagram: DC Regulator 04:40 Part Selection: PMIC, LTM8062 by #AnalogDevices 06:31 Part Selection: Buck Converter, LTM4675 by Analog Devices 08:05 Part Selection: PV Cells, IXOLAR Gen. 3 by #Anysolar 09:09 Next Steps *Repo Links* EPS development files on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/buildacubesat-project/bac-hardware/src/branch/main/eps Upcoming content: https://codeberg.org/buildacubesat-project/bac-docs/src/branch/main/content/content-plan.md *Links* @RGSAT Battery Selection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01msKY_211g @analogdevicesinc LTM8062: https://www.analog.com/en/products/ltm8062.html AnalogDevices LTM4675: https://www.analog.com/en/products/ltm4675.html AnalogDevices uModule Overview: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/product-selector-card/umodule-power-products.pdf @staflsystems What is a Battery Management System? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXYJ1xC10j4&t=27s&pp=ygUJc3RhZmwgYm1z @eetengineer BMS Design Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJJ-NKzzRQygLr5ta54anSxbbq5CFP0W2 *Contact* Get in touch: https://buildacubesat.space Need a friendly, non-corporate GitHub/Gitlab alternative?
