This section describes the power circuitry used by Cansat V2 and the experiment.
The MCU Board (the Pico) is responsible from its own power regulation.

{{underline|'''When another voltage required :'''}}<br />The Vbat pads are available for you to connect a step-up voltage regulator to produce higher voltage from the Lipo battery. Just keep in mind that General Lipo cannot be discharged over 1*C (meaning 1200mAh battery cannot discharge over 1*1200mA before getting the protection activated).

* Cansat must have a minimum weight for the parachute to work efficiently. Having an additional battery may help you to achieve this while offering additional power source for hungry power deevice (like motor).
