/*
  CHARGER for 2S Lipo battery
  by Marco Zonca, 2022
  
  This sketch works as 2S LiPo Charger, originally made for Autopilot2 for small sailing boats
  Arduino Nano as MCU, 3 relais, LM317, ua7812, 3 Thermistors TMP36, DAC module, 2 fuses, 4 BC337 NPN, 5W ceramic resistor, 2 RGB LED,
  resistors and capacitors, Buzzer, JST connectors, Cooling Fan, Bluetooth HC-05, etc.;

/*  
  WARNING: before switching Relais2 ON or OFF,
  switch OFF Relais1 first, then Relais2, then Relais1 ON again if necessary;
  This circuit KEEPS SEPARATED the battery ground from any other ground because during balanced charging
  the pins Cells, (-) and (+), are necessarily switched from one CELL to another, and inverted polarity at common wire!
 
  LETS CONNECT the load only by the way of X1-LOAD connector; the X1-LOAD power is automatically full disconnected when charging (both wires (-) and (+))
