Spagey2 contributed to the ISSUIUC/ISS-PCB repository by delivering three hardware features over three months, focusing on schematic capture, PCB design, and circuit integration using KiCad. They integrated a battery voltage monitoring chip into the MIDAS-MK2 sensor board, enabling real-time power monitoring without firmware changes. Spagey2 also standardized schematic symbols, such as the PMA-545G1+, to improve design consistency and reduce errors. In addition, they enhanced power management by adding a 5.5V regulator and updating symbol libraries for new components. Their work emphasized hardware reliability, design traceability, and streamlined future development, demonstrating depth in hardware design and schematic maintenance.

November 2025 ISS-PCB focused on power management enhancements. Delivered Voltage Regulator Integration: added a 5.5V regulator component, introduced symbol libraries for TPS63070 and TPSM82902SIS, and updated schematic and symbol library tables to ensure correct design and fabrication. This work strengthens power reliability, reduces BOM/regulatory risk, and accelerates future power-management features. Reference commit 06ae591fc52618bc2e930c74f36251267fb3fb48.
