Marriage of the EMDrive with the ‪#‎EMPQ‬ satellite mainboard.
Power converter and communication working.
Problem to solve: The EMDrive has a high inrush current before applying a bias to the PA.
When the battery cannot supply this initial current shot, the boost converter will not reach the 5V, causing the EMDrive not to boot up and applying the bias.

Conclusion: The EMDrive board needs to be slightly modified. I think I can do a quick fix on this board before going for the flight model.
