Project Overview

Problem	Description
Problem 3	Design of a CC-CV charging circuit for a 3S Li-ion battery pack, powered by a 12V DC adapter, with cell balancing and safety protections.
Problem 4	PCB schematic and layout design for a specified circuit.
Problem 5	Arduino-based control system for a 5V servo motor, 12V DC motor, IR sensor, and ultrasonic sensor — including circuit design, PCB design, and firmware.

See Assignment_Questions.pdf for the complete problem statements and requirements.
