CubeSat EPS v1: Assembly

[@abgehn7869]

Great video! Looking forward to february! :)

[@ctrain226]

just the other day I was thinking of designing one just to build and test with than I found your videos and I thinks its just better to live watching your content than try and build one my self. Very excited to watch!

[@buildacubesat]

Thank you, I am happy to hear that you enjoy watching this series! What you said there is exactly what I thought a couple of years ago when I discovered RGSat's channel =) So if you ever decide to start your own project after all, feel free to share! 🛰

[@PCBWay]

This is so GOOOD!!!🔥

[@buildacubesat]

Haha I'm super happy that you like it 😄 Thanks again for coming on board!

[@PCBWay]

@@buildacubesat We love it so much! Honored to be a part of your campaign! 🥳

[@aniketburde5956]

I feel your pain at 8:03 😥. But overall very well explained video 🤘.

[@JOUST-2]

Keep the videos coming. I've had the idea of working on a CubeSat for a couple years now and I recently (more like "finally") starting the actual work on realizing a part of it; a BUS. Well actually my first prototype design is going to be much more general, as in its my first time making a pcb that complex, but it's time. So in other words, I'm designing a development board for a BUS at the moment. Hopefully, since Mark Rober published a video about a CubeSat, you might get a boost in views/subscribers!

[@buildacubesat]

Nice, that's great to hear! If you feel like sharing, I'd like to follow along with your project. I think KZbin needs more CubeSat content :) I wasn't aware of that Mark Rober video, will be interesting to see if it has some spillover effect.

Awesome to see that PCB Way sponsored this video!!!!

[@awdhut-e2e]

One thing I noticed is pcbway isn't going just for sub count they are actually funding really good projects

[@UKsystems]

@@awdhut-e2ethey own the files so they have something to gain

[@awdhut-e2e]

@@UKsystems anyways most of the creators open source the files , but it's really great for small creators with limited resources , they want to do something big so viewership increase and they get more money but because there is no viewership so there is no money and no big project So someone is breaking the cycle

[@UKsystems]

@ it is a requirement for sponsorship by them

[@buildacubesat]

@@UKsystems Slight correction there: All design files are open source and freely available on the Codeberg repo (there is a link in the description). So transfer of ownership is not part of the sponsoring agreement I have with PCBWay. Of course I can only speak for my channel, so maybe you have had different experiences.

[@brunohaid5770]

There's an open source firmware for the MHP30 called IronOS that supports reflow profiles with up to 5 phases / steps.

[@buildacubesat]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I will install that

[@UKsystems]

Be careful some manufacturers prohibit use in a satalite

[@buildacubesat]

Hi there! This design is going on a high altitude balloon at the most, but that's good to know for future, space-bound versions. Were you referring to any specific component?

[@UKsystems]

@@buildacubesat nearly all due to import and export regulations and other things hence why they cost millions also sometimes the altitide limit is there to prevent missile use

[@buildacubesat]

​@@UKsystems Ok, I see what you mean. So when I order components from Digikey and Mouser, I have to state the intended use before I can place the order. There, I always clearly explain that I will use the parts for prototyping a CubeSat and so far, my order always went through. So this should be fine. It is true that some dual use technologies like GNSS receivers and bolometers are limited for civilian use (altitude and speed limits for the former, frame rate for the latter). When purchasing the unlimited variants, you have to fill out some more paperwork and supply more context about your use case. Usually there is some back and forth with the vendor, but so far I have not run into trouble with that either. But thanks for having my back.

[@UKsystems]

@ the issue is when it randomly applies to a resistor

I don't know what you mean by that...?

No worries :) That's just a pretty thick Swiss-German accent
