This kit lets you build a fully instrumented battery management and solar harvesting simulator around an ESP32, complete with two INA219 sensors that monitor solar panel input and battery discharge independently. You'll code a true maximum power point tracking algorithm that adjusts the buck converter to squeeze every milliwatt from a 6V panel, then log all parameters to a microSD with real-time clock stamps-exactly the workflow a satellite power engineer uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA self-contained EPS simulator that reads solar panel voltage\/current through INA219 #1, battery charge\/discharge through INA219 #2, and runs an MPPT loop on the ESP32 to dynamically set the LM2596 buck converter's output for peak energy transfer. A 0.96-inch OLED displays live power stats, while the DS3231 RTC timestamps every data point written to the microSD module.
