ESTCube-2 was a follow-up project to ESTCube-1 that was Estonia's first satellite, developed mainly by students from Estonia.
My bachelor´s thesis focused on the development of the control electronics of the electrical power system of ESTCube-2.
During the practical work I built prototype hardware and wrote driver layer firmware for the on-board microcontrollers.
MSP430FR series microcontrollers
MAX1231 analog-to-digital converters
serial FRAM memory
RS485 transceivers
Shift register
DS3234 real-time clock
Bus-switch
Switching regulator that generates 3.3V
Capacitor bank for storing energy for emergency situations
