Course Project:
1. Solder ONE ESP32 board you designed. (25 points)
2. The board must be powered up by a 1-cell Lipo battery. (25 points)
3. You must make a charging circuit to demonstrate the rechargability of the system. Use 2 Lipo battery cells and regulaters to charge the 1-cell small Lipo through a charging module (No customized PCB needed, you can use the charging module provided to you). (25 points)
4. Demonstrate the functionality of the soldered board ESP32/sensor board - rechargability, data transmission and display. Write a report to include all these information. (25 points)
