About the Cree xega led breakout
Cree xega led breakout is an open source PCB design by oresat, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 30 × 15 mm, with 5 components from 2 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 3 diodes and 2 connectors.
It belongs with the power & battery and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
Solar simulator for our 1U solar panels
The hardware repository for our solar simulator for testing OreSat 1U solar panels
The OreSat Solar Simulator is a benchtop simulator for hardware-in-the-loop testing of CubeSat solar modules. It uses LED and halogen light bulbs to emit light that simulates the sun's solar spectrum in low Earth orbit (Air Mass 0 or 'AM0').
The work for this was done as an MCECS Capstone Project from January to June of 2023 by Bendjy Faurestal, Adam Martinez, Cesar Ordaz-Coronel, and Charles Nasser. Andrew Greenberg was both representing PSAS as the Industry Sponsor and the Faculty Advisor to the students.
