@Ari Wasch

BMS

  • BMS documentation

  • Started looking into BMS rev 3

  • Reach out to Waterloop about their BMS design

@Chealsie Bains (Deactivated)

Jetson Carrier

  • Update on Jetson Carrier layout & stackup?

 

@Farris Matar

PDB/BMS

  • No progress on PDBMS debugging - should have an update next week

  • Helped create wire harnesses for RS422 breakout + encoder

  • Started improvements to design review process - part review guide complete

  • Continue debugging PDBMS

  • Continue improvements to design review process - start schematic review guide

  • Organize design ideas into specific projects

@Ivan Lim

Science

  • Components arrived, pcb shipped

  • Finishing

@Jason Gao

RS422

BLDC motor controller

  • Update on BLDC layout?

 

@Logan Hartford

Multiphase buck converter

  • Spec'ed out a power resitor set-up to test the buck

  • Added MOSFET and IC power dissipation to my calculations sheet

  • Looked in to some different options for fixing the IC power dissipation issue

  • Finished calculations for performance testing

  • Researched how to improve performance

  • Worked on making harnesses with Farris

  • With our current set up we could get away with one fet per channel to reduce IC power loss

  • Finding a fet with lower Qgate and a lower enough RDS could really improve efficency

  • Order power resistors?

  • Continiue to do some research on how to improve the current design.

  • See if I can find an all around better performing MOSFET and then buy some

  • Prepare for Rev2 Layout

@Taylor Mcnabb

SPI LVDS

  • Update on SPI LVDS Host and Peripheral boards (layout/shipping)?
