# History
This project began as a [Rochester Institue of Technology](http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/archive/KiCad_stable-2013.07.07-BZR4022_Win_full_version.exe) Multi-disciplinary Senior Design (MSD) project during the 2012-2013 school year. Originally the [P13271 AMSAT-MPPT](http://edge.rit.edu/edge/P13271/public/Home) project which successfully delivered a proof-of-concept MPPT intended for a 3U cubesat, the design was continued and modified for use on the smaller Fox-1 satellites which are 1U in size.

# Project Structure
## Hardware Files
All hardware files are located in the [Hardware/Rev2_1](https://github.com/FaradayRF/Fox-1-MPPT/tree/master/Hardware/Rev2_1) directory. They consist of [Kicad EDA](http://kicad-pcb.org/) files which were developed using [Kicad Build: 2013-07-07 BZR 4022](http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/archive/KiCad_stable-2013.07.07-BZR4022_Win_full_version.exe) which is the July 2013 stable version of the EDA tool (Windows). Also placed into the hardware directory are the [project output files](https://github.com/FaradayRF/Fox-1-MPPT/tree/master/Hardware/Rev2_1/OutputFiles). These are the files which were used to order the PCBs and present an easy to use view of the design (PDF, Excel, Gerber, etc).
