The avionics subteam focuses on all of the hardware on the satellite that makes the system work. This "bus" hardware includes power, compute, and sensing systems. We currently use a modified PyCubed microcontroller that runs our CircuitPython flight code, a solar power system based off of the LT3652 chip and some NCR18650B batteries, and a sensing system that includes sun sensors, an IMU, and thermistors.
All of the hardware is designed in KiCad and we make updates with every satellite we fly. On SAMWISE we're going to increase the size of our power system to generate 6x the power, add more sensors for more precise attitude determinate and health monitoring, and add the hardware needed to drive the payloads effectively. We're also planning on adding support for a new reaction wheel system for ADCS.
