Step 8

Finally, assemble CUBEX Power Board, LTC3536 section first, connect a power supply (set to 4.2v) to the battery input and measure the LTC3536 (buck-boost) output to assure the output is 3.3v. Then solder on the LTC3105 (solar charger) and solar cells to the CUBEX Solar Cell board. Connect a lipo battery, to complete the build.
