Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/yeusgM75ys This is the first version of the Electrical Power System (#EPS) #schematic for my DIY #cubesat done in #kicad 8. In this video I walk you through most of the components I chose and how I try to achieve some resilience through redundancy and a bunch of telemetry. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I’m new at electronics design, so I am more than happy to learn from you all :) *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 01:14 Inhibits 03:34 Battery Pack 08:18 USB-C / 12V Charging Port 09:12 LDOs 13:40 LDO GPIO Expander 17:40 EPS Power Muxing 18:58 Outro *Repo Links* EPS v1: https://codeberg.org/buildacubesat-project/bac-hardware/src/branch/main/eps *Video Links* Block Diagram and Part selection: https://youtu.be/0nqGzLot9TQ Battery Selection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01msKY_211g M.2 Connectors (aka.
